Gaza doctor says gunfire accounted for 80% of the wounds at his hospital from aid convoy bloodshed

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The head of a Gaza City hospital that treated some of those wounded in the bloodshed surrounding an aid convoy said Friday that more than 80% had been struck by gunfire, suggesting there had been heavy shooting by Israeli troops.

At least 112 Palestinians were killed and more than 750 others were injured Thursday, according to health officials, when witnesses said nearby Israeli troops opened fire as huge crowds raced to pull goods off an aid convoy. Israel said many of the dead were trampled in a stampede linked to the chaos and that its troops fired at some in the crowd who they believed moved toward them in a threatening way.

Dr. Mohammed Salha, the acting director of Al-Awda Hospital, told The Associated Press that 176 wounded were brought to the facility, of whom 142 had suffered gunshot wounds. The other 34 showed injuries from a stampede.

1. Just brutality and death.

And of course the IDF lied. There's video on Twitter of the event.

2. It's not as if that version is any better in actuality.

3. It sounds like once the shooting started, the vehicles tried to flee

and ran over a lot of people. Still 100% IDF's fault if that is the case.

4. Starving people - dying of malnutrition, eating animal feed and drinking dirty water - and there's a discussion

of whether they were shot to death or run over by trucks.

The point is people are starving to death and are dying . . .

Sometimes I just can't grasp how this is acceptable because ...

8. it isn't acceptable.

War (or whatever this is) never is.

5. Is he the same Gaza doctor who said they were 500+ dead...

....with "100's more trapped under the rubble" when the Gazan rocket hit the al-Ahli Hospital parking lot?

6. That doctor may be among the dead, actually.

7. At least according to him?
