Gaza rescuers say 46 killed as UN slams US-backed aid system (www.rfi.fr)

Gaza City (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) โ€“ Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli forces killed another 46 people waiting for aid in the Palestinian territory on Tuesday as rights groups and UN agencies slammed the US-backed food distribution system.

Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 21 people were killed and around 150 wounded by Israeli fire near an aid point in central Gaza early Tuesday, and that another 25 were killed in a separate incident in south Gaza.

"Every day we face this scenario: martyrs, injuries, in unbearable numbers," paramedic Ziad Farhat told AFP at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza.

"Hospitals cannot accommodate the number of casualties arriving," he said.

The latest deaths came as Israel's opposition leader and the families of Israeli hostages being held in Gaza called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to widen a ceasefire with Iran to include the Palestinian territory.

Pressure also grew on the US- and Israeli-backed privately run aid group Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which was brought into the Palestinian territory at the end of May to replace United Nations agencies.

Gaza civil defence spokesman Bassal reported a first deadly shooting "with bullets and tank shells" near the Netzarim corridor in central Gaza where thousands of Palestinians gather each night for rations from a nearby GHF distribution point.

The Israeli military later said that a crowd had been identified in an area "adjacent" to its troops.

Witness Ribhi Al-Qassas told AFP that troops had "opened fire randomly" at a crowd he estimated at 50,000 people.

The second incident took place in south Gaza about two kilometres from another GHF centre in Rafah governorate, Bassal said.

"Israeli forces targeted civilian gatherings near Al-Alam and Al-Shakoush areas with bullets and tank shells", he told AFP.

Israeli restrictions on media in the Gaza Strip and difficulties in accessing some areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by rescuers and witnesses in the Palestinian territory.

I wonder how many of these bastards have dual nationality and quietly return to Europe, without
being worried by the justice, after having committed massacres
