Death as Aid in Gaza

This year, Eid al-Adha has been very sad. According to Palestinians, many do not even have the opportunity to eat meat or anything else.
The Palestinians killed today [near an aid point in Rafah] were looking for anything to feed their families when they were shot.
This was not the only incident. In the past week, we’ve seen at least four similar incidents in which more than 100 Palestinians trying to receive aid were killed.
Currently, dozens of Palestinians remain critically injured, with wounds to their upper bodies, chests and heads. Doctors say it has become very challenging to save their lives.
Palestinians in Gaza all say the only reason they go to these distribution points is because they are starving and have no other way to feed their families.
