Israel's army kills more than 30 people who hoped to collect food in the Gaza Strip

More than 31 Gazati have died early this Sunday and more than two hundred have been injured In Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, after the Israeli troops opened fire while waiting to collect food in the new points of distribution of humanitarian aid, the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian enclave reported.

“The Israeli occupation forces have committed a new massacre against hungry civilians who had met at the points designated for the distribution of the alleged” humanitarian aid “,” collects the statement of the Gazatí government, under Hamas. According to local sources, Israeli tanks opened fire around four in the morning (local time) against “all civilians” that had approached a distribution point in the Tel to Sultan neighborhood, in Rafah. The Israeli army has not yet pronounced on this incident.

The Gazati civil defense warned that its teams cannot reach the place of the attack in the southern city of Rafah “due to extreme danger”, since the Israeli forces are opening fire against areas near the distribution centers.

Likewise, the hospital Al Wada in Nuseirat, center of the strip, reported the death of a gazatí and 26 wounded, including three children and a woman, near other distribution points in the Netzarim area, (Israel has established in this point artificial road of this-west that divides the Palestinian enclave into two) by attacks of Israeli fighters during this morning.

“It has been demonstrated with blood, face -to -face testimoniesfield reports and even international evaluations that the “humanitarian aid distribution project through containment areas” is a failed and dangerous initiative, “adds the Hamas government in its note.

Controversy with the Israeli agency that manages the cast

The Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza (GHF, in English) backed by the United States and Israel, responsible for managing these new complexes for food cast, said in a statement that Today they distributed the help “without incident.” “We are aware of the rumors that Hamas is actively promoting, that suggest deaths and wounded today. They are false and manufactured,” says his note.

The death toll in the news distribution points managed by the Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza (whose US and Israel sponsorship is controversial) rises to 39 and the one injured to more than 220 in less than a week, according to figures from the Palestinian authorities.
