20 killed after aid truck overturned on top of starving civilians in Gaza

GAZA, Aug. 06 (YPA) – At least 20 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured when a truck carrying aid overturned on top of a crowd of people seeking relief in the central Gaza Strip, medical sources reported on Wednesday

According to the sources, the accident occurred as a large number of starving civilians were gathering to obtain humanitarian aid, amid the stifling crisis in the Strip resulting from the ongoing blockade and aggression.

The sources indicated that the aid truck overturned after the occupation forces forced it to enter through an unsafe road.

This humanitarian tragedy reflects the scale of the catastrophe facing the people of Gaza, as the search for a loaf of bread has become fraught with danger, in the absence of radical and rapid solutions to the worsening catastrophic conditions.

It is noteworthy that the death toll from aid workers reached 52 yesterday, with 352 injured.

This brings the total number of slain aid-seekers to 1,568, and the number of injured to 11,230.
