Gaza doctors donate their own blood to patients after shots near the center of aid

“If you are fearing for your life, running with packages, this is something that is completely beyond everything we have seen,” he said. “These attacks killed dozens … They were left bleeding on the floor.”

Cornish said the team of one of the hospitals where MSF operates had to donate blood, as most Palestinians are now very badly nourished to donate.

Israel allowed the Humanitarian Foundation Gaza to begin the distribution of food in Gaza last week after completely closed the Gaza Strip for all supplies since the beginning of March.

Gaza authorities say at least 102 Palestinians were killed and almost 500 were injured while trying to get help from food distribution sites in the first eight days.

Witnesses said the Israeli forces fired on crowds. The Israeli military said that the Hamas militants were guilty of opening fire, although they recognized that on Tuesday, when at least 27 people died, their troops fired on “suspects” who approached their positions.

The United States vetoed a resolution of the UN Security Council on Wednesday, supported by all other board members, who would have demanded an “immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” in Gaza and unrestricted access to help.
