Israeli troops kill at least 7 Palestinians waiting for aid in Gaza, eyewitness and health official say
At least seven Palestinians were killed, and 86 others injured, when Israeli troops opened fire while civilians waited for humanitarian aid in Gaza City on Wednesday, according to a health official and eyewitness.
Many of the people transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital from the aid site suffered bullet wounds, according to Fathi Obaid, a doctor in the medical center's emergency department. Obaid said the hospital struggled to treat all the patients because of medicine and equipment shortages.
Nimr Abu Atta, a patient at the hospital who was shot in the stomach, said he had been hit with "gunfire from an Israeli tank."
Abu Atta said he went to an area in Gaza City known as the Kuwait roundabout — where aid trucks commonly distribute food, attracting crowds of people desperate for supplies — to pick up flour for his children when he was hit.
"My wife was killed two months ago in the war, and I am caring for my seven children," he said.
The Israel Defense Forces has not yet responded to a CNN query about the alleged shooting.
Violence at aid sites: Gazans have reported several deadly attacks by Israeli soldiers on crowds of civilians lining up for aid in recent weeks.
The Gaza-based Government Media Office claimed Tuesday that at least 400 people have been killed in such incidents since the beginning of the war.
CNN cannot independently confirm the Gaza government's numbers due to the lack of international media access to the strip. The IDF did not immediately provide a comment on the figures.
Journalist Khader Al-Za’anoun of Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency, contributed to this report.
