JAKARTA - Palestinians were injured and injured while waiting for aid in Gaza to increase, as Israel denies allegations of being behind the incident.
At least 29 Palestinians were killed while waiting for help in two separate Israeli military attacks in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, Gaza's Ministry of Health said.
In the first incident, Palestinian health officials in the Palestinian enclave said eight people were killed in airstrikes against an aid distribution center in the Al-Nuseirat camp, the Central Gaza Strip.
Later, the number of victims increased as 21 people died and more than 150 people were injured by Israeli fire at a crowd of people waiting for aid trucks in the northern Gaza roundabout, Gaza's health ministry said.
Local sources reported that casualties occurred after Israeli warplanes and drones launched fire and missiles targeting crowds of people awaiting food delivery and aid supplies near the Kuwaiti Roundabout in Gaza City, quoted from WAFA.
A video clip taken by a journalist at the scene of the attack showed the bodies of several victims, including children. The bodies of the dead and injured were transported to the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
The Kuwaiti Roundabout in Gaza City is a designated venue for the delivery of UN aid aimed at the northern Gaza Strip, with the approval of Israeli occupation authorities.
