Gaza health authorities said Israeli forces on Thursday (Feb 29) shot dead more than 100 Palestinians as they waited for an aid delivery, but Israel blamed the deaths on crowds that surrounded aid trucks, saying victims had been trampled or run over.

At least 112 people were killed and more than 280 wounded in the incident near Gaza City, Palestinian health officials said.

The loss of civilian lives was the biggest in weeks. Hamas said the incident could jeopardise talks in Qatar aimed at securing a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages it is holding. When asked if he thought it would complicate the talks, US President Joe Biden said: "I know it will."

Medics in Gaza said they could not cope with the flood of serious injuries, which came as the death toll in nearly five months of war passed 30,000, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Israel disputed the account provided by officials in Hamas-run Gaza, which has been bombarded by Israeli forces for months since the Palestinian militant group's deadly rampage in southern Israel on Oct 7.

The Israeli military said the trucks were operated by private contractors as part of an aid operation that it had been overseeing for the past four nights.

One Israeli official said there had been two incidents, hundreds of metres apart. In the first, dozens were killed or injured as they tried to take aid from the trucks and were trampled or run over.

He said there was a second, subsequent incident as the trucks moved off. Some people in the crowd approached troops who felt under threat and opened fire, killing an unknown number in a "limited response", he said. He dismissed the casualty toll given by Gaza authorities but gave no figure himself.

In a later briefing, Israel Defence Forces spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari also said dozens had been trampled to death or injured in a fight to take supplies off the trucks.

He said tanks escorting the trucks had subsequently fired warning shots to disperse the crowd and backed away when events began to get out of hand. "No IDF strike was conducted towards the aid convoy," he said.

"The IDF was there conducting a humanitarian operation to secure the humanitarian corridor and allow the aid convoy to reach its designated distribution point."

The US State Department said it was urgently seeking information on the incident as did the French foreign ministry.

White House says aid incident is 'alarming' and 'tragic'

The White House said Biden discussed the "tragic and alarming incident" with the leaders of Egypt and Qatar, as well as ways to secure the release of Israeli hostages and a six-week ceasefire.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was an "ugly massacre" by Israel, and French foreign ministry spokesperson Christophe Lemoine said Israel was responsible under international law for protecting aid distribution to civilians.

One video shared on social media, whose location Reuters was able to verify, showed trucks loaded with many dead bodies as well as wounded people.

Another, which Reuters could not verify, showed bloodstained people being carried in a truck, bodies wrapped in shrouds and doctors treating injured patients on the hospital floor.


We don't want aid like this. We don't want aid and bullets together. There are many martyrs," a man said in one of the videos.

The Pentagon expressed alarm but declined to assign any blame. "These are human beings that are trying to feed themselves" Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson, told a news briefing. "We're all kind of looking at that and saying: 'What happened here'?".

Palestinian death toll tops 30,000

The Palestinian health authorities said 30,035 Palestinians were now confirmed killed and more than 70,000 wounded in Israel's offencive, launched after the Oct 7 attack in which Israel said Hamas gunmen killed 1,200


Much of Gaza has been reduced to rubble and most of its 2.3 million population have been displaced from their homes at least once.

Aid deliveries to northern Gaza have been sparse and chaotic, passing through more active military zones to an area where the UN says many are starving, with videos showing desperate crowds surging around supply trucks.

Fake news!
Your news Headline says one thing! Your report story says another thing..

ISRAEL did not shoot at Gazans or kill as reported by fake news medias.

Real event is a Stampede occurred as Gazans rushed to get humanitarian items Supplied by ISRAEL.

Yesterday was the 4th day in a roll that ISRAEL supplied Humanitarian items gazans without any issues.

Lastly Casulty from the stampede is inflated Palestine and Hamas palliwood stunts as Usual.
Videos are out . Many of the so called casulties videos are hamas/ palestine PALLYWOOD usual stunts to deceive the gullible.

With 15k of the dead being under the age of 18... Not talking about injured.


Also 9 of the terrorist that attacked Israel were aid workers. So in retaliation, Israel hit charity organizations, journalist, anybody, they do not discriminate... hospitals too.


They have done things that can be seen as war crime.

Sigh... While I still maintain my neutrality in this crisis, the truth must be told!

Israel has been reckless and heartless since this onslaught started.

The pieces of video evidence are unassailable and quite shocking, to say the least.

Using unarmed civilians as target practice is beyond war crimes!

You call yourself a Christian and you do no fear God for once.
May the happening in Gaza befall you, your family and your unborn generation. Just say amen if you are sincere.
