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.

      Waiting for the average Zionism defender saying:

      • That’s just a report!!!
      • You’ve clearly been tricked since Hamas told them to go stand there!!!
      • The IDF were not even there, okay? Didn’t you hear their side of the story?
      • Probably Hamas members were there, surrounding themselves by innocent civilian zombies who clearly have no free will and just do as Hamas tells them even when they are about to lose all 6 children of theirs.
