GAZA – At least 9 people have been killed and 40 others injured when the Israeli Defence Forces, IDF opened fire on Palestinians waiting to collect humanitarian aids like food and medicine in Gaza.

The Palestinians were killed at Kuwait Roundabout in Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip.

This is not the first time that that Israeli forces will be shooting at civilians waiting for food, medicine and water. Last month, the IDF opened fire in similar circumstances, killing at least 115 people and injuring tens of other Palestinians.

This attack occurred just as the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said the ground aid reaching the north of the Gaza Strip is very, very minimal and not enough for anyone.

“This assistance comes from two main routes: firstly, Salah Al-Din Street, where there is a roundabout constructed by Kuwait, so it is named Kuwait Roundabout.

” The other location is the Sea Street at the Al-Nablusi Junction, named after a sweet shop opened by a freed prisoner from the West Bank in the Gaza Strip.

“Hungry people gather at these two spots (Kuwait Roundabout and Nablusi Roundabout) hoping to get any food.

“Bombing of these gatherings of hungry people has become a daily routine practiced by the occupation and witnessed by the international community on their screens.

“Hunger will ravage all the inhabitants of northern Gaza. The aid is too little. The cost of a meal could mean certain death.

“Help the people of the north; do not leave them prey to hunger, bombing, and disease.

“Doctors will die. The nurses there will die. And the world will witness the largest number of victims of hunger in the coming days if you do not act today to save us. We will all die”, the Ministry said.
