In a separate incident, one Palestinian was shot and injured by Israeli snipers close to Rafah city as he was approaching the designated distribution point. The distribution site near Israel’s Netzarim Corridor is the third to have been set up this week, after two distribution points were established in the southern city of Rafah. The number of Palestinians killed in the past 72 hours while trying to get aid has reached 10, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. On Tuesday, thousands of starving Palestinians made their way to the Rafah aid distribution point. With the Israeli helicopters and drones hovering above and gunfire echoing nearby, families, including women and children, faced great difficulty reaching the food distribution site, as the GHF began its first operations. Desperate civilians scrambled over barriers and squeezed through dense crowds to access the vital supplies. “The occupation forces, positioned in or around those areas, opened live fire on starving civilians who were lured to these locations under the pretence of receiving aid,” Gaza’s Government Media Office said in a statement. It added that the incident “provides undeniable evidence of the Israeli occupation’s total failure in managing the humanitarian catastrophe it has deliberately created”. In a statement earlier, the Israeli military claimed its forces did not direct gunfire towards the Palestinians but rather fired warning shots in an outside area.?BREAKING | Another angle shows American armed mercenaries throwing grenades at Palestinians who came to receive aid at the Netzarim point run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
