The media office of the government in Gaza has slammed a reported Israeli attack on Palestinians waiting for aid in Gaza City.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that at least 20 bodies and 155 wounded people arrived at the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City after the incident.
The Israeli forces targeted “a gathering of citizens while they were waiting for relief aid at the Kuwait Roundabout in Gaza City,” the media office’s statement said.
The latest attack is “to be added to the series of massacres and brutal attacks against the defenceless civilians who face the Zionist starvation policy,” it also said.
“The failure of the international community and the United Nations to take action against the occupation army was a green light to commit more horrific crimes,” the statement added.
The Israeli military on Thursday denied it opened fire on aid seekers at the Kuwait Roundabout.
