Israeli troops open fire on Palestinians waiting for aid, as death toll passes 30,000
ISRAELI troops opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians waiting for aid in Gaza City today, killing more than 100 people.
The atrocity brought the death toll since the start of the Israel-Gaza war to more than 30,000, according to health officials.
Hospital officials initially reported an Israeli strike on the crowd, but witnesses later said that troops had opened fire as people pulled flour and canned goods off lorries.
