Government Media Office: At least 56 people killed in Israeli attacks on aid centers in 48 hours in Gaza

GAZA, March 16 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out five separate attacks on aid distribution centers in the past 48 hours in the Gaza Strip, killing 56 people and injuring more than 300 others, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) on Friday.

The first of these massacres occurred at a UNRWA aid distribution center in Rafah, which claimed the lives of 5 people. Two other citizens working in providing aid were martyred when their car was bombed in Rafah Governorate.

The occupation forces also bombed another aid distribution center in the Nuseirat camp in the Central Governorate, killing 8 people.

They also killed 11 people on Tuesday and Wednesday, and killed more than 30 civilians last night while waiting for aid trucks at the Kuwait Roundabout in Gaza Governorate.

“We hold the US administration and the international community, in addition to the Israeli occupation, fully responsible for the crime of genocide,” the GMO said.

“We call on all countries of the free world to pressure the occupation to stop the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people,” it concluded.
