A United Nations report and accounts from eyewitnesses, doctors, and officials revealed that a large number of those wounded in the “Rashid Street massacre” were the result of gunshots fired at them by Israeli forces.
Agence France-Presse quoted the spokesman for the Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, as saying, “On Friday, a United Nations team visited wounded people in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, and examined a large number of wounds that were the result of gunshot wounds.” He added, "200 wounded are still in this hospital, out of more than 700 who were transferred to it."
According to the American newspaper "The Washington Post", which based its account of the tragedy on 12 interviews with eyewitnesses, doctors, relief workers, and Israeli and United Nations military officials, analysis of dozens of video clips, including an edited video released by the Israeli army, reveals that the crowds ran and bent down while... Bodies were lying on the road near two Israeli armored vehicles, and seriously injured and bloodied people arrived at several hospitals.
Israeli targeting of a group of Palestinian citizens on Thursday, while they were waiting for trucks carrying humanitarian aid to arrive at the Nabulsi roundabout near Al-Rashid Street in the northwest of the Gaza Strip, resulted in the killing of more than 100 people and the injury of more than 760 others .
Extremist Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir described the Israeli soldiers who opened fire on civilians in Gaza as “heroes” and called for stopping aid.
The areas of the northern Gaza Strip are suffering from a miserable and tragic situation due to the complete loss of food supplies and clean water sources. The Gaza Ministry of Health recorded the death of a number of citizens due to hunger and malnutrition.
The United Nations confirmed last Tuesday that Israeli forces are "systematically" preventing aid from reaching the residents of Gaza who need it, which complicates the task of delivering it to a war zone that is not subject to any law.
The UN rapporteur on the right to food also said that Israel is deliberately starving the Palestinians , stressing that “it must be held accountable for war crimes and genocide.”
