Israeli gunfire was heard when the Palestinian little guy tried to reach the aid center in Rafa
Israeli tanks and gunfire were heard Tuesday, while giant Palestinians tried to reach the newly opened Gaza aid distribution center, according to reports from CBC News and Associated Press News.
There is no immediate news about whether the injury is done.
The shooting was a plan to take over food distribution in Gaza as thousands of Palestinians walked through Israeli military routes to a distribution center established by an Israeli U.S.-backed group in the suburbs of Rafah. Israel plans to take over food distribution in Gaza. This is the second day of hub operation.
The Associated Press reporter was at a certain distance from the distribution point and heard gunshots and fires from tank fires. Smoke can be seen rising from a round of influence.
CBC press freelance photographer Mohamed El Saife said the gunshots were shot into the air and into the water, but did not seem to hurt anyone.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said Tuesday afternoon that it has distributed about 8,000 food boxes, equivalent to about 462,000 meals, after almost three months of Israel's lockdown, which is a lockdown on the enclave.
Palestinians, including women and children, some in walking or donkey carts, flock to an allocated site in the southern city of Rafa, which is under full control of the Israeli Army to receive food packages.
Videos that Reuters could not verify immediately showed a group of people walking through a wired corridor and entering a large open yard where aid was piled up. Later, images shared on social media showed that as people wandered around the site, most of the fences ripped apart.
“What happened today is the ultimate evidence of the humanitarian crisis caused by the occupation's failure to pass the policies of hunger, siege and bombing,” the Hamas-run government media office said in a statement.
Some recipients showed the content of the package, which included some rice, flour, beans, pasta, olive oil, cookies and sugar.
Although the aid was provided on Monday, Palestinians appear to have noticed warnings, including Hamas, about biometric screening procedures adopted in the distribution sites of foundation aid.
“I want to go a lot because I'm hungry, my kids are hungry, I'm afraid I'm hungry,” said Abu Ahmed, 55.
“I'm scared because they say the company belongs to Israel, it's a mercenary, and it's also because of resistance. [Hamas] Say not to go. ” he said in a message on the chat app WhatsApp.
