WHO says Gaza's Nasser hospital 'one massive trauma ward' for food distribution site injuries
"They've seen already for weeks, daily injuries ... and (the) majority coming from the so-called safe non-UN food distribution sites. The hospital is now operating as one massive trauma ward," Rik Peeperkorn told reporters in Geneva.
A new report published by the Associated Press on Thursday showed a leaked video of American contractors guarding aid distribution sites using live ammunition, stun grenades, and pepper spray against starving Palestinians seeking food. The video of US contractors cheering after firing at Gaza civilians has sparked fierce criticism online.
