A Gazan father carries the body of his son who was killed as a result of the occupation forces shooting at them at the Kuwait Roundabout (Anas Al-Sharif).
“They returned carrying corpses instead of bags of flour.” With these words, Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif described the condition of the Gazans who went out in search of a bag of flour while fasting in the midst of the holy month of Ramadan, specifically in front of the Kuwait Roundabout southeast of Gaza City, only to be surprised by tanks and bullets. The Israeli occupation army bombed them, and they fell. 23 were killed and 23 others were injured.
In a live broadcast on Al Jazeera, correspondent Anas Al-Sharif documented a new massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army against starving Palestinians, while thousands of them were waiting to receive flour and aid near the Kuwait Roundabout southeast of Gaza City. Live pictures from the spot and eyewitnesses wondering what their fault was and what the dead were guilty of. Their only concern was getting a bag of flour?!

Scenes of the bodies of martyrs thrown on the ground in Kuwait Square, and some families carrying the bodies of their relatives on their shoulders, sparked a widespread wave of anger on social media platforms at the Arab and international levels, with some activists describing the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation as “their crime is unparalleled anywhere else.”

but unfortunately he returned carrying on his shoulders his son, who rose to the target of the Israeli occupation at the Kuwait roundabout in Gaza City.

Has the Israeli occupation government been included on terrorist lists?!
So why doesn't she repeat her crimes?
“Victims and wounded rose after the occupation army targeted Palestinians who headed to the Kuwait roundabout south of Gaza in search of a livelihood in light of the continued siege.”

While others wondered about the metaphor committed by the Israeli occupation by saying, “Where is Gaza to and when will the series of premeditated killings for no reason end?!!!,” while others linked the return of massacres to places where aid is located with the Israeli occupation’s assassination a few days ago of a group of officers responsible for ensuring the distribution of aid to Residents without any injuries.
Bloggers said that the Israeli occupation wants the policy of mass killing that it uses in northern Gaza, especially, to spread chaos and spread fear among people and force them to migrate to the southern Gaza Strip.
The massacre of #Kuwait_roundabout, the massacre of livelihood and dengue, the massacre of humanity that most people lost. Where is Gaza and when will the series of premeditated killings without cause end?!!! #Gaza_now pic.twitter.com/QEvhbgq6ii

Some were saddened by the condition of the people of Gaza, and what they reached due to hunger at the height of the month of Ramadan, to the point where citizens began abandoning corpses and running behind aid trucks in the hope of obtaining a bag of flour with which to satisfy their hunger.
By God, I cannot understand
who said that such a thing would happen in Gaza.
People left the body of the martyr on the ground due to hunger
and began to seek aid in northern Gaza.
If people reached this point, they would have reached extreme hunger and fear for their children. pic.twitter.com/rcgBgrzdh1

For its part, the government media office in Gaza announced the death of 23 Palestinians and the injury of 23 others who were waiting for aid near the Kuwait Roundabout in Gaza City as a result of an Israeli bombing.
The media office added that members of the occupation army - in addition to tanks - opened fire with machine guns at the "hungry" who were waiting for bags of flour and aid in a remote place that did not pose a threat to the occupation, as part of the martyrs arrived at the Baptist Hospital, and a number of them remained with their bodies lying on the ground. .
