- A very difficult scene in southern Gaza after killing of aid seekersReporting from Rafah, southern GazaThis is a time when we can safely say you don’t have to look for tragedy in Gaza. Tragedy will find you.There are so many family members who managed to flee the northern part of Gaza. They are here, but they had family members in the northern part and among them were those who gathered at the Nabulsi Roundabout to get aid from the trucks coming in.It’s a very difficult scene right now. They’ve been trying to get hold of their family members and relatives for the past few weeks to make sure they’re still alive, that they’re not going to be affected by the spread of famine, and yesterday happened, and they heard about them being killed.Play VideoVideo Duration 02 minutes 15 seconds02:15Israeli massacre of Palestinians waiting for Gaza aid trucksClick here to share on social mediaLebanon condemns ‘deliberate killing’ of Palestinian aid seekersLebanon’s Foreign Ministry “strongly condemns the deliberate killing of dozens of defenceless Palestinian civilians and the wounding of hundreds” after the Israeli army opened fire on a crowd of people seeking humanitarian aid near Gaza City.In a statement posted on X, the ministry said the incident fell “within the framework of the policy of mass starvation and extermination of the Palestinian people, which drives them to despair and adds fuel to the fire”.This “lowers the chances of a just and comprehensive peace” being achieved, it saidIt also called for an end to this “absurd war that increases extremism and hatred” and for the establishment of an international investigation committee to determine the responsibilities for Thursday’s incident and ensure accountability.Click here to share on social media
