Desperate crowds in Gaza seeking food aid faced tragedy on August 4 when Israeli forces opened fire near distribution points, leaving dozens dead or injured. Witnesses described scenes of chaos as people scrambled for airdropped supplies, only to be met with gunfire targeting their upper bodies. 🩸
"They shot directly at us—bullets aimed at our chests and heads," said survivor Youssef Al-Zouatneh, who narrowly escaped death after a round grazed his skull. Al-Awda Hospital overflowed with casualties, many critically wounded.
Sabreen Shaheen, a local resident, condemned the violence: "These aid lines have become death traps. You either return with groceries… or your family carries you home in a shroud." 🚑
The Netzarim Corridor—once a lifeline for Gaza’s starving population—now symbolizes a broken system where survival missions risk becoming fatal. As international outcry grows, questions mount about accountability for civilian protection during humanitarian operations. 🌍✊
