Desperate residents under Israeli attack while trying to get flour for families as famine stalks the strip.

Gaza’s government media office accused the Israeli army of “committing a horrific massacre”. More than 70 people were killed and about 250 others wounded, it said in a statement on Thursday.

The citizens had congregated at al-Rashid Street, where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way. Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.

“I have been waiting since yesterday. At about 4.30 this morning, trucks started to come through. Once we approached the aid trucks, the Israeli tanks and warplanes started firing at us, as if it was a trap.

    Absolutely psychopathic. I read the other day that aid hasn’t entered north Gaza since the 23rd of January. This seems like the first since then, and their fired upon.

    And western governments are still supporting this, selling arms to Israel, and demonising those that stand against it. Appalling world.
