"At least 80 people were killed, and 400 people were wounded. At the same time. For the same reason. The same place.
For those who don't know, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians of Gaza are facing a forced starvation in the north of Gaza strip. They're starving to death. And the only way they can get food, is to wait for food.
So, some aid trucks enter from the south to the north of Gaza, via Rashid street, on Gaza beach. And that's why--and because the amount of the aid trucks entering is very limited, maybe once or twice a month--people, fathers and brothers, started to sleep in the streets, for weeks now. They're waiting for any aid trucks at least enter during the night, so they can get some flour to their family.
So tonight, at four A.M., it happened. Some flour bags entered the north of Gaza strip and people started running to get that flour, to get that food for their families.
So the Israeli tanks opened fire on them, shooting and killing more than 80 people, wounding more than 300-400 people.
Their blood was mixed with the flour. The mothers and sisters, the family, will never bake that flour, will never bake that bread, they will never get back to their homes; they said good-bye to the family to get some food, and they will never be back with that food, again.
They were killed. Israel is using the starvation weapon against us. Israel is using the starvation weapon against the north of Gaza strip. To force people to leave, to evacuate, to empty the north. They are starving people, they are killing them when they succeed to get some food.
Israel is preventing any food from entering the north of Gaza strip, and if it entered like that, truck for example, what happened yesterday; they start shooting the people. It's not the first time for people to be killed while taking the aid. But that time the number of people that were killed was really great. Like 80 families, 80 families lost the men of the family, who are trying to get some food. This is insane. This is... This cannot be normal.
The starvation weapon is used against us. Israel is still, until now, using the starvation weapon against Palestinians in the north of Gaza strip.
People do not have anything to do; this is not nothing but the 2024 holocaust. This is a holocaust. This is a real genocide."
"The starvation weapon is used for the first time in history against us! #FeedNorthGaza#CeaseFire"

"At least 150 hungry citizens have been killed and 1000 others wounded in an Israeli massacre in northern Gaza.
Israeli tanks shelled thousands of hungry civilians, who were waiting for flour at Al Rasheed Street. Israeli snipers continue to target everyone approaching the victims in some locations.
The director of Kamal Idwan Hospital told Al Jazeera that the victims were directly targeted in the upper part of the body, indicating that the intention was to kill."
