The Israeli army has killed 32 Palestinians on Saturday and wounded to more than 80 in northern Rafah (southern Gaza) when the troops opened fire against a crowd that awaited food distribution about two militarized points of distribution backed by the US, according to a medical source.
As confirmed to Efe a source of the morgue of the Naser hospital, among the deceased are the bodies of 25 men, who usually go in search of food for their families, and four more unidentified bodies, including that of a woman.
Three other bodies have been counted later, according to a statement of health, in which he warns of “an unprecedented humanitarian disaster if this international silence continues.”
The Israeli troops surrounded the area, where thousands of Palestinians had met trying to a food distribution center, and began firing at the crowd, according to face -to -face witnesses and local sources cited by Haaretz.
This new massacre, after the death yesterday of at least another dozen Gazatis in the vicinity of another delivery center, occurs while each more Palestinian suffer malnutrition and starvation due to the lack of food available. Despite this, Israel still does not allow the mass of humanitarian aid through the UN mechanism.
Even the flour has become difficult to find in the markets, and one kilo can cost $ 70, as Efe could check.
Yesterday, the Gazatí Health Ministry, and doctors in different hospitals such as the Kuwait specialized campaign hospital, in the Southern Jan Yunis, warned of the arrival of an “unprecedented” number of people displaced with signs of acute malnutrition and fatigue due to prolonged deprivation of food.
“All cases that arrive now need foods before medications. We notice that hundreds of people whose bodies have been completely consumed at risk of dying once their bodies do not resist it anymore,” said Suhaib Al Hams, director of this medical center.
