WFP exposes an Israeli massacre against the starving people of Gaza.

The World Food Programme accused Israel of using tanks, snipers, and other weapons to fire on a crowd of Palestinians seeking food aid in the Gaza Strip, in what the Gaza Health Ministry called "one of the bloodiest days for aid seekers in more than 21 months."

This accusation, made by the World Food Programme, is based on accounts from eyewitnesses and others who said that Israel fired on the crowd.

The program stated that the crowd surrounding its convoy "was subjected to Israeli tank, sniper, and other fire." The statement did not specify the number of casualties, saying only that the incident resulted in "countless loss of life."

The Gaza Health Ministry, eyewitnesses, and a UN official reported that Israeli forces opened fire on crowds trying to obtain food from a 25-truck convoy that entered the badly damaged area.

Following Sunday's incident, an Associated Press photographer counted 31 bodies at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, and another 20 in the courtyard of Sheikh Radwan Clinic.

"These people were simply trying to get food to feed themselves and their families on the brink of starvation," the WFP said in a statement, adding that the incident occurred despite assurances from Israeli authorities that aid delivery was improving.

According to the statement, "Part of these assurances is the absence of armed forces or interference along aid routes. A ceasefire must be immediately implemented near humanitarian missions, convoys, and food distribution points."

The bloodshed surrounding aid deliveries highlights the increasingly dire situation of Gazans, who are desperately seeking food and other assistance, with no sign of an end to the war that has ravaged the region.

As the talks continued, the death toll in the war-torn territory rose to more than 59,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which reported that more than half of the dead were women and children.

Meanwhile, Israel expanded its evacuation orders for the Strip to include a less severely affected area, suggesting the possibility of further Israeli attacks to further strangle Palestinians in smaller areas of Gaza.

It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation authorities did not allow international media to enter Gaza throughout the war.
