here's that 'most moral democracy' in the mid east doing more to cement their reputation;
On Sunday morning at dawn, Palestinians from southern Gaza headed to the aid distribution point in Rafah run by the Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF), the U.S. contractor tasked with delivering aid to Palestinians instead of the UN. Once thousands of aid-seekers arrived at the al-Alam area of Rafah’s Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, the Israeli army opened fire on the crowds, according to eyewitnesses who spoke to Mondoweiss.
As throngs of people waited outside the aid site in the early morning hours, waiting for the instructions of the American employees, eyewitnesses described an Israeli quadcopter drone hovering overhead and ordering them via loudspeaker to enter the fenced delivery center at 6:00 a.m.
After hundreds of people had entered, Israeli forces fired on the crowd, killing 75 people at the Rafah site and wounding a total of 400 others across aid distribution centers, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said in an updated statement on Monday.*
