Source: The Hindustan Times · 17 Mar 2024Tragedy struck Gaza on Thursday as at least 29 Palestinians lost their lives in two separate Israeli attacks while waiting for aid, according to Gaza's health ministry. Israel's military denied targeting aid centers, labeling the reports as false and urging for reliance on credible information.
The first incident occurred in the central Gaza Strip at the Al-Nuseirat camp, where eight individuals were killed in an airstrike on an aid distribution center. Later, at a northern Gaza roundabout, at least 21 people were killed and over 150 were wounded by Israeli gunfire as they awaited aid trucks.
