The Ministry of Health: The total number of casualties that arrived at Al Shifa Hospital has risen to 20 victims and 155 injuries. Medical teams are unable to cope with the volume and severity of injuries reaching hospitals in northern Gaza due to the limited medical and human resources available.

The Gaza Government Media Office demanded the immediate opening of the Rafah Crossing and allowing the entry of piled-up aid trucks at the border.

IDF: “We didn’t do it”

The IDF says that last night, Palestinian gunmen opened fire at Gazan civilians waiting for aid at Kuwait Square in Gaza City, leading to casualties. It says IDF troops did not open fire at any stage during the incident.

According to the IDF’s probe, a convoy of 31 trucks containing food and other humanitarian aid for civilians made its way to northern Gaza. An hour before the convoy arrived to an IDF-established corridor, armed Palestinians opened fire while civilians were waiting for the aid trucks, the probe finds. “As aid trucks were entering [the corridor], the Palestinian gunmen continued to shoot as the crowd of Gazans began looting the trucks,” the IDF says, adding that it also identified several civilians being run over by the trucks.

Hamas health officials said at least 21 people were killed and more than 150 were wounded in the incident. The IDF says that after conducting an “intensive preliminary review,” it found that “the IDF did not open fire at the aid convoy at Kuwait Square.” “A review of our operational systems and IDF troops [on the ground] found that no tank shelling, airstrike or gunfire was carried out toward the Gazan crowd in the area of the aid convoy,” the military says. The IDF adds that it is continuing to investigate the incident.

At least 29 killed in Israeli attacks as they waited for aid, Gaza health ministry says

SkyNews: In a statement, Israel’s military denied attacking aid centres, describing the reports as “false”.

At least 29 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for aid in two separate Israeli attacks, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

The first incident on Thursday saw eight people killed in an airstrike on an aid distribution centre in the Nuseirat camp, in the central Gaza Strip, they said.

Later, at least 21 people were killed and more than 150 wounded by Israeli gunfire at a crowd waiting for aid at a roundabout, the ministry said.

The dead and injured from the second attack were taken to Gaza’s al Shifa hospital, the statement added.

Israel’s military denied the reports as “false” in a statement.

“As the IDF [Israeli Defence Forces] assesses the incident with the thoroughness that it deserves, we urge the media to do the same and only rely on credible information,” the statement said.

Most of Gaza‘s 2.3 million population has been displaced by the current conflict and deadly incidents have unfolded during aid distribution.

The latest news comes two weeks after the Gaza health ministry said at least 112 people were killed during another aid delivery.

Israel blamed the deaths on crowds that surrounded the aid trucks, but its account of that incident was “not clear”, as several “different versions of events” were given, Sky’s Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall said at the time.

Civilians gathered to try to get food and medicine from aid truck deliveries. A video obtained by Al Jazeera showed a crowd appearing to flee and duck amid audible gunfire.

Following the incident, medical teams said they were unable to cope with the volume and severity of the injuries, with dozens of wounded taken to al Shifa hospital, just under 4km from the incident site.

14 March: FROM PALESTINE GOVERNMENT MEDIA OFFICE:

The Israeli army had the coordinates of the place, where the aid was supposed to arrive and the people gathered, and it deliberately targeted them.

For 20 days in a row, Israel has been targeting hungry civilians while waiting for aid.

The Israelis used helicopters and tanks to fire at hungry civilians.
