More than 100 Palestinians were killed in Gaza City Thursday as Israeli troops opened fire on people trying to get food from humanitarian aid trucks, but accounts of the attack remained at odds. Gaza hospital officials initially reported an Israeli strike on the crowd at the al-Nabusi roundabout in the western part of the city. Witnesses later said Israeli troops opened fire as people pulled flour and canned goods off trucks. Israeli officials acknowledged that troops opened fire, saying they did so because they thought the people rushing toward the aid trucks “posed a threat.” The military had at first said that “dozens were killed and injured from pushing, trampling and being run over by the trucks.” https://www.voanews.com/a/more-than-100-palestinians-are-killed-during-gaza-food-distribution/7508442.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
