Medical officials and humanitarian workers in Gaza report being overwhelmed by frequent mass casualties stemming from violence at aid distribution sites. Many injured individuals report being shot while seeking aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Dr. Mohammed Saqr mentioned witnessing numerous mass casualty incidents, with over 100 cases sometimes arriving in just half an hour. The strain on medical facilities has led to patients being treated on the floor due to overcrowding. Between May 27 and July 2, 640 fatalities and over 4,500 injuries occurred as a result of these incidents.
Dr Mohammed Saqr, director of nursing at Gaza's Nasser Medical Complex, stated, 'Sometimes within just half an hour we receive over 100 to 150 cases, ranging from severe injuries to deaths.'
The casualties among those seeking aid totalled 640 killed and more than 4,500 injured between 27 May and 2 July, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
The International Committee of the Red Cross reported a sharp surge in mass casualty incidents linked to aid distribution sites since the launch of the new distribution system.
Dr Saqr remarked, 'About 95% of these injuries and deaths come from food distribution centres, what are referred to as the American food distribution centres.'
