At least 20 Palestinians have been killed in a crush at a food distribution site in southern Gaza run by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). It happened after GHF guards used teargas or pepper spray on hungry crowds arriving at the centre, Palestinian health authorities and witnesses said.

“The tents are completely empty now, lacking any food or drink, so people, with no other options or alternatives, are forced to go to dangerous areas just to get a can of fava beans or hummus, or even a few kilograms of flour, anything to feed their hungry families,” Rouqa said.

Starving people. It's a genocide.

The leaders of Israel, the IDF, the mercenaries who are part of this are war criminals.

I believed in "Never Again". But it's happening again.
