Gaza: Dozens are killed as they try to get food from distribution centres
Gaza: Dozens are killed as they try to get food from distribution centres Elisabeth Mahase Dozens of Palestinians have been killed and hundreds injured as they waited to receive food at the controversial US and Israel backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution centres in Rafah on 1 June.Patients told Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF) staff, who were treating wounded people at Nasser Hospital, that they had been shot at from all sides by drones, helicopters, boats, tanks, and Israeli soldiers on the ground. 1 Mansour Sami Abdi, a father of four, told MSF, "People fought over five pallets.They told us to take food-then they fired from every direction.I ran 200 metres before realising I'd been shot.This isn't aid.It's a lie.Are we supposed to go get food for our kids and die?"
