Gaza City (EFE).- The Israel Defense Forces killed at least 81 Gazans and wounded about 150 on Sunday after opening fire on a group of people waiting for flour trucks in the northern city of Beit Lahia, while six more Gazans were killed in Rafah (south) near one of the aid distribution points backed by the United States, medical sources confirmed to EFE.
The bodies of at least 37 Palestinians arrived at Al Shifa Hospital in the Gaza capital, after Israeli soldiers opened fire near the Zikim military checkpoint, a source from the medical center confirmed to EFE. In addition, another 19 bodies arrived at the Sheikh Radwan clinic.
According to witnesses who spoke to EFE, it is estimated that the bodies of about 50 people are still lying on the street in Beit Lahia.
Shortly after, two more bodies arrived at Al Saraya Field Hospital in Gaza City, Nebal Farkash, spokeswoman for the Palestinian Red Crescent, told EFE.
This center was forced to set up new beds after being overwhelmed by about 120 wounded, some seriously, the spokeswoman added. Two more bodies remain in the morgue of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, according to a medical source.
In southern Gaza, in the Saudi neighborhood of Rafah, at least six Palestinians were killed by gunfire near the distribution point of the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to a source in the morgue of Nasser Hospital.
Events like this occur daily, as this US-backed organization distributes food in a very limited way in militarized complexes, with Israeli troops stationed just two kilometers away and, according to a recent Haaretz investigation, with a green light to shoot at Palestinians to disperse the crowds.
