Israelis engulfed by a wave of international condemnation over shooting of more than 100 Palestinian aid seekers
THE Israelis were engulfed by a wave of international condemnation on today following the shooting of more than 100 Palestinians during an aid delivery in Gaza.
This came after Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinians scrambling for desperately needed food at an aid station in Gaza City on Thursday.
While the Israeli military said that a “stampede” occurred when thousands of Palestinians surrounded a convoy of 38 aid trucks, local officials said the Israeli forces opened fire at people.
Israel said that many of the dead were trampled in a chaotic crush for the food aid, and that its troops only fired when they felt endangered by the crowd.

The Palestinian death toll in Gaza now stands at more than 30,035, mainly women and children.
Israel’s killing spree in Gaza began after a Hamas attack on October 7 left 1,200 people dead.
