Four people died on Wednesday, 28, when hundreds of Palestinians broke into a UN warehouse in Gaza, overthrowing the walls of the building in a desperate attempt to find food. Two people were crushed and two others died of bullet injuries. It is not known who opened fire, if Israeli troops or employees hired to deliver supplies. Dozens of injuries, including women and children, also showed signs of shots, according to the Red Cross.
In yesterday’s chaotic scenes, dozens stapped by flour bags, while others struggled to enter the UN World Food Program warehouse. On Tuesday, 27, a similar episode was recorded in Rafah-1 person died and 48 were injured. At the time, a UN spokesman stated that most of the victims had been hit by shots from Israeli soldiers, who shot after many Palestinians invaded the scene. Witnesses corroborated the account. Israel’s army denies and guarantees that their troops have fired only warning shots.
Yesterday, Sigrid Kaag, sent from the UN to the Middle East, compared Israel’s aid to “a lifeboat after the ship sank.” Speaking to the Security Council, she said the Gaza Palestinians have already “lost hope.”
Death
While hunger gets worse in Gaza, Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu said yesterday that Israel killed Hamas leader Mohamed Sinwar in a recent air strike to a hospital. The army, however, did not confirm the information. Hamas did not speak either. Mohamed is the brother of Yahya Sinwar, then Hamas leader and one of the October 7, 2023 attacks, killed by the Israelis last year
