Breaking: scores crushed to death after Israel forces Gaza aid convoy onto dangerous route

Refugees killed in engineered disaster as children continue to starve to death

At least twenty Palestinians were killed and dozens injured after an aid lorry that had been forced by Israel to take an unsafe route overturned onto a crowd of starving refugees seeking aid in the central Gaza Strip in the latest incidence of the occupation military using aid to target civilians.

The engineered catastrophe came just a day after Israeli troops killed eighty-one Palestinians, fifty-seven of whom were murdered while gathered in a desperate search for food aid, while deaths from starvation continue to accelerate – almost two hundred starved to death since Israel’s illegal blockade of food began – half of them children, including tiny six-month-old Judy Al-Arour, who died today:

The latest estimate of total victims of Israel’s extermination campaign, based on Israeli army data, exceeds 430,000.
