The mortal shooting reports of Israeli infantry men close to a new food distribution in Gaza are criticized through the organization supported through the United States that distributes food.
Ari Shapiro, host:
A fatal shooting in Gaza this weekend left at least 21 other people dead and more than 150 wounds while they were for food, according to the International Red Cross Committee. Palestinian eyewitnesses say that other people headed to a new food distribution site when Israeli troops shot them.
Juana Summers, host:
The United States ambassador for Israel says that there is no shooting of this type and said that US media reports that this is spreading, citing “totally manufactured stories. ” Today, the Israeli army has identified that its troops have triggered the Palestinians in a separate incident near the same food site. Gaza Fitness officials say at least two were killed.
Shapiro: Daniel Estrin de NPR has such an Aviv. And a warning that this story describes graphic scenes of violence.
Daniel Estrin, Byline: NPR spoke with two Palestinians who had survived a few scary hours on Sunday morning in Gaza.
Mohammed Saqqer: (speaking Arabic).
Estrin: Mohammed Saqqer, father of three children, told the NPR Ahmed Abuhamda manufacturer that he had taken a car drawn by the sea at 2 a. m. I had heard that the materials were exhausted quickly.
SAQQER: (Speaking Arabic).
Estrin: “The Israeli army began to take out plans for caution and boats in the navy,” he says, “while drones played an announcement ordering to retire. ” People have gotten down in their abdomen to cover themselves, but they would progress little through little. It is dark. He said he continued listening to shots and other people shouted.
SAQQER: (Speaking Arabic).
Strin: There is an old woman near him with her grandson. He killed in the neck. “I discovered it completely from blood,” he said, “as his grandson shouted” Array . . .
SAQQER: (Speaking Arabic).
Strin: . . . “Oh, grandmother. Oh, grandmother. “
NPR spoke with another guy who says he is in the crowd through Barakat’s call. He asked that his last call was retained, fearing the repercussions of Israel. He said the military boats opened fireplace and described similar scenes.
Barakat: (Arabic speaking).
Estrine: “It’s inhuman and unfair,” Barakat said. He says he went home with a empty lock. Everyone had already hit all the food.
Speaking anonymously in line with the army protocol, an Israeli army official told the media, whose NPR, the troops have had precautionary plans, cite, “suspect” about a thousand meters from the food site. The manager said it to save them from coming to the troops. But publicly, the Israeli army spokesman Effie Defrin published this video message.

Effie Defrin: I urge you not to all distributed through Hamas. We will investigate each of those incidents and each of those accusations.
Estrin: The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, or GHF, the organization supported through the United States leading the new Foodarray has issued rejections. He said that no civilian had been shot down near the emails that said that NPR accounts were absolutely false and ridiculous. The United States ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also weighed. He says that the reports of the US media are false and that the first handling accounts have not shown injuries, no death, nor shots. He accused American media of having contributed to an anti-Semitic climate that led to the attack on Sunday opposed to Pro-Israeli protesters in Boulder, Colorado.
In Gaza, the scenario as a whole, says the humanitarian staff is that enough people. None has arrived in North Gaza in more than 3 months. The global food program continues to check to deliver flour there, however, its trucks have been looted, says Corinne Fleischer de PAM.
Corinne Fleischer: When there is no food in a position in which 2. 1 million people live, crime increases, of course, considerably. People just look to have everything they can.
Estrin: She says that what is now a fire. She says it is the most productive way to get gaza food safely. Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
