The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor revealed a new flour massacre in which the Israeli occupation army killed dozens of Palestinians who were gathering in the Sudanese roundabout area, northwest of Gaza City, waiting for humanitarian aid to arrive after about 50 days of closure.
Euro-Med Monitor pointed out that the Israeli army forces directly fired shells and shots towards dozens of Palestinian civilians who were waiting for aid trucks on the sea road northwest of Gaza City, at about 10 am on Wednesday, November 13. When they tried to take shelter inside a nearby house, Israeli forces bombed it over their heads, killing and injuring dozens and leaving many others missing under the rubble.
An eyewitness confirmed that the Israeli army targeted a group of civilian residents who have been suffering from a famine situation for weeks resulting from the Israeli army preventing the entry of any aid or food into Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, where it bombarded them with shells and bullets when they approached to get flour, prompting them to take refuge in an adjacent two-story residential house. However, the Israeli army quickly shelled the building after taking refuge there, destroying it, while screaming living people inside were heard calling for rescue, but ambulance and civil defense crews were unable to reach the area.
According to preliminary information, the number of those who were gathering in the area reached about 200 people, of whom about 70 people were killed and injured, while many people are still missing and trapped under the rubble, and no operations have yet been conducted to rescue them, due to the Israeli army’s removal of civil defense and ambulance from work due to shelling, threats, confiscation and burning of ambulances and fire trucks 23 days ago in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor called for urgent intervention to ensure that civil defense and rescue teams reach the targeted place for possible neighborhoods after the Israeli occupation forces bombed it yesterday, and to enable them to work safely and transfer the victims to hospitals.
