New Delhi: DD, Atleast 24 Palestinians were killed, and injured many others in the Gaza Strip even as a ceasefire had been announced by the USA.
“Israeli airstrikes killed 24 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” a media report claimed.
Meanwhile, two American aid workers, who sustained injuries at the Israel-backed humanitarian foundation in South Gaza, when grenades were thrown at them at the food collection area, the reports quoting witnesses said.
A prominent international media house has reported that the “Gaza aid contractors” had allegedly opened fire on the unarmed Palestinians, who had come to collect ration/essential food from the food distribution centre established at Gaza, killing many of them.
However, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has ruled out such claims. The distribution centre was established to ensure that the aid did not go to the Hamas fighters, but it has created a chaotic situation with large numbers of killings at the collection point. (AGENCIES)
