More than 100 people have been killed and more than 700 injured after Israeli soldiers opened fire on a large crowd of Palestinians trying to take food from a humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza, according to reports.
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has strongly condemned this incident. “I condemn the events that took place on Thursday in Gaza, in which more than 100 people have reportedly been killed or injured while seeking life-saving assistance,” he posted on Twitter.
Palestinian President condemned the attack
The office of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was “aware of the horrific attack by Israeli forces this morning against people waiting for aid trucks at the Nabulsi intersection. We condemn this genocide”.
Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said the incident occurred at the al-Nabusi intersection, west of Gaza City, in the northern part of the enclave. Qidra said medical teams were unable to deal with the extent and severity of injuries of the dozens of injured people who arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital.
Hussam Abu Safiyah, head of Kamal Adwan hospital in Gaza City, said they had found 10 bodies and dozens of injured patients from the incident west of the city.
