At least 77 Palestinians were killed and 250 wounded while waiting for food aid in Gaza City today.
Reportedly, “Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.”
One man told reporters: “To the Arab states I say, if you want to have us killed, why are you sending relief aid? If this continues, we do not want any aid delivered at all. Every convoy coming means another massacre.”
This is not the first time Israeli forces have targeted aid and relief centers since the retaliation for the October 7 attacks began.
The United Nations says that the famine is a severe risk in Gaza as now one in every six child below the age of two is considered “acutely malnourished.”
Why won’t the international community help? Recently U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said “the US does not dictate to Israel what it must do, just as we don’t dictate to any country what it must do.”
A reporter interjected: “Unless you invade them.”
Miller laughed an uncomfortable laugh. It’s (not) funny because it’s true.
