Israel has murdered at least 45 people and wounded more than 60 in yet another massacre of aid-seekers at the Israel-controlled Zikim ‘aid’ point, leaving carnage and the bodies of victims being transported on carts.
In the early moments after the massacre, Palestinian journalist Wesam.Press1 reported as the first victims were brought for treatment:
As the death toll mounted, the bodies of the murdered victims were carried on any transport available:

I was the first person to report on the israeli massacre of aid seekers near Zikim aid crossing point in north Gaza. Now the numbers are confirmed. 45 PEOPLE WERE KILLED BY ISRAEL AND OVER 60 WERE WOUNDED. One of the killed is a cousin of mine.
