Desperate Palestinians rushing toward aid trucks to fetch food in central Gaza were forced to flee after Israeli troops opened fire on them amid the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in the enclave.

Footage verified by Al Jazeera shows hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza City in the central part of the besieged enclave running to get food items delivered by the United Nations in boxes on the back of trucks as bullets are fired.

“Desperate and hungry Palestinians are running out of options. Under Israeli sniper fire, they are risking their lives to reach one of the few aid trucks entering Gaza City,” said Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Rafah in southern Gaza.

Footage has also shown how Israeli gunboats have opened fire on small Palestinian boats that were trying to fish off Gaza’s coast as dozens watched from land.

Edited and noted. There are extremes to every religion I suppose, I live in Utah but would hate to be called a Mormon

How do you refer to Israelis who oppose the current regime?

Anti Zionists most likely, but depends on why they protest their government. Some super right wingers are protesting for their government to kill more Palestinians.

Israel is secular. Though like America it operates under an extremely warped version of a religion and uses it as a mantle for its crimes.
