Palestinians gather to get food at a distribution center in Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip, Friday Nov.29, 2024
TWO children and a woman were crushed to death today as a crowd of Palestinians pushed to get bread at a bakery in the Gaza Strip amid a worsening food crisis in the war-ravaged territory, medical officials said.
The latest tragedy came as the world observed the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The three were taken to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, where a doctor confirmed that they died from suffocation due to crowding at the al-Banna bakery.
