The Ministry of Health in the Palestinian Gaza corridor said that a chaotic incident occurred in a street in the west of Gaza city on the 29th, and Israeli army forces killed at least 104 people and injured 760 when starving Palestinian civilians gathered around food aid trucks**.
CNN was unable to independently confirm the number of casualties released by the Pakistani side. According to reports, when Israeli military tanks and drones began to head towards the crowd**, people were already crowding around the newly arrived aid trucks, hoping to get food.
An Israeli *** told CNN that the Israeli army did use live ammunition against the crowd surrounding the aid truck because "the crowd approached in a way that posed a threat to the officers and soldiers, and they responded to the threat with live ammunition, and the incident is under review." Witnesses noted that aid trucks tried to flee the area and accidentally rammed into others, causing further casualties.
Three doctors confirmed that a total of 53 victims were sent to the hospitals they were serving. The number of dead and injured is expected to increase as many bodies and crowds remain on the streets, and ambulances are blocked by rubble making it difficult to reach those in need.
In response to CNN, the Israeli army said that the incident was under review, "In the early hours of this morning, as the inbound humanitarian aid truck entered the northern part of the Gaza corridor, the Gazas surrounded the truck and looted the supplies that were being transported. In this incident, dozens of Gaza residents were injured as a result of pushing and trampling".
Oxfam International condemned the attack in a post on the social media platform "X", saying that "Israel deliberately locks up civilians after starving them, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and humanity".
