“Hunger and lack of everything makes us go there.”
“We know that we have been wounded or killed at any time, yet we are still going there to get a kilo of flour.”
Muhammad al -Qadda, 33, is one of the patients who were brought to the British charity in the United Kingdom in southern Gaza who sought food but only found violence.
He said he was shot in the hand and leg while trying to get food for his family at a nearby aid distribution center run by the United States and the United States Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
“I was asking someone to carry me and took me to the hospital. The good Samaritan brought me here.”
Muhammad said he was aware of the dangers he was facing by trying to reach the GHF website, but had no choice.
“Famine is bad for me and everyone.”
“Today, I’m eating [at] Hospital. Once you improve, I will return to these centers regardless of what. I am the only family for all family members. “

According to the United Nations Human Rights Office, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army while trying to obtain food assistance in the past two months.
It says at least 766 of them were killed near one of the four distribution centers in GHF, which is being operated by American American security contractors and is located inside the Israeli military areas.
288 people were reported killed near the United Nations and other aid convoys.
Israel accused Hamas of inciting chaos near the relief sites. She says that her forces only fired warning footage and that they did not intentionally shoot civilians.
GHF says that the United Nations uses “FALSE” figures from the Hamas Ministry of Health in Gaza.

The British paramedic Sam Sirz said that the UK Hospital in the Flower in the coastal was witnessing about 2000 patients per month in the emergency department, as many of them were injured while seeking assistance.
“We have patients who were wounded, fragments, and legs, and they get firearms in the chest, which caused the severed lungs, etc.”, added, walking through the inner patient wing.
Dr. Asil Hurabi, a Palestinian doctor working in the hospital for nearly a year, had to go to deadly aid sites, describing it as a “way to death”.
“My husband went once [or] Twice and then got the shooting and that was! “If we want to die of hunger, let it be,” she said.
“I see the injured people who come to the hospital in large numbers. We sometimes receive up to 50 injuries a day. During the day, we have no time to close our eyes and rest, or even drink a cup of tea.”
Dr. Hurabi, who lives in a close tent with her family, said that her house was destroyed, that she did not eat for one day.
“I bought a kilogram of potatoes and [it] Calculate me 120 [shekels] ($ 36; 27 pounds). Prices are not normal. It is difficult to secure things. You can spend $ 100 a day for only one meal! “
“Here in the hospital, they are not currently serving any meals. If they have meals, they give small amounts to patients,” she added. “We have to deal with hungry patients and we are also hungry.”
She said she was dealing with patients who were physically and psychologically draining.
“We have reached a catastrophic situation. It is not that we are close to starvation, we live.” “The world listens and watches but silent.”
She added: “We have no time to think about sadness because we think about what we eat, bread, and what we cook tomorrow, and how to reach the hospital.”

On Wednesday, more than 100 International Relief Organization and Human Rights Groups accused Israel of imposing a “siege” on Gaza, causing collective starvation by restricting the goods entering Gaza.
When he was asked to comment, the Executive Director of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adosanum Gabrizos, said: “Collective hunger means starving a large percentage of the population, and a large percentage of Gaza population are starving.”
“It is man -made. This is very clear. This is because of the siege.”
He added: “[More than 1,000] People died while trying to feed themselves. If they do not starve, imagine [why they’re] The risk of their lives. “
Israel imposed a total portion of the delivery of aid to Gaza at the beginning of March and resumed its military attack against Hamas after two weeks, which led to a two -month ceasefire. She said she wanted to pressure the armed group to release the remaining Israeli hostages.
Although the siege decreased in part after nearly two months, amid warnings of famine waving on the horizon of international experts, the lack of food, medicine and fuel has worsened.
The World Health Organization says that a quarter of the 2.1 million populations face famine -like conditions, and that nearly 100,000 women and children suffer from severe malnutrition.
The Hamas -running Ministry of Health in Gaza says at least 45 people have passed away as a result of malnutrition since Sunday, including two who have passed away over the past 24 hours.

Israel, which controls the entry of all supplies to Gaza, refuses to accuse him of imposing a siege and responsible for any malnutrition.
“In Gaza today, there is no famine resulting from Israel. However, there is a shortage of man -made by Hamas,” government spokesman David Menker told the Al -Ahtarat newspaper on Wednesday.
“Now, often the full story is not listed. This suffering exists because Hamas has created it.”
Menker said that more than 4,400 shipments of aid have entered Gaza over the past two months, but about 700 truck loads were waiting for their collection in two transit points to collect by the United Nations and its humanitarian partners.
“This is the neck of the bottle caused by the United Nations, and it is the main obstacle to maintaining a fixed flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza,” he added.
However, United Nations agencies said it was almost impossible to coordinate a safe traffic for their leaders with the Israeli forces, leaving the Palestinians at the mercy of the rapid hunger that reaches every family in Gaza.
