KEEPING UP

The Flour Massacre 🇵🇸 💔

On February 29th, Palestinians gathered on Harun al-Rashid Street, hoping to receive aid trucks carrying flour. What followed was a tragic event, the flour massacre. 

What Occurred? 🩸

As people gathered in search of essentials like flour, Israeli soldiers opened fire, targeting the crowd. Although the shooting momentarily stopped when the crowd dispersed, it resumed once more as individuals made another attempt to approach the aid trucks.

Amidst the chaos:

• The violence escalated as Israeli tanks moved forward, viciously crushing and hurting innocent civilians. 

• Donkey carts became emergency ambulances as the injured struggled to reach medical aid.

Eyewitness Statement Speak Volumes 📢

One witness recounted the horror: "We had come here to get our hands on some aid... The Israelis just opened fire on us as if it was a trap." 

Over 100 Palestinians were murdered by the Israeli military, with more than 1,000 left injured. 

Israel's Conflicting Narratives 💬

In the aftermath, the Israeli military tried to avoid accountability. Their account of events changed throughout the day, first blaming the crowd and then using believed threats to justify their unjust use of force.

Yet, the truth remains clear: innocent civilians seeking aid were met with deadly violence.

Aid Crisis in Gaza Deepens 🚨

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating. Following the ICJ ruling, the number of aid trucks has plummeted by 40%, worsening the crisis faced by Palestinians.
