Hamas says Israel using aid points to massacre and starve civilians

Hamas says Israel has turned aid distribution centres into sites of mass murder, calling them “US-sponsored death traps” designed to lure starving civilians before targeting them.

In a statement, the group said the aid points are now being used as tools of “murder, humiliation, and starvation”, and described the killings as part of a systematic policy.

“This process is humanly and morally unacceptable,” Hamas said, as reports continue to emerge of Palestinians being gunned down while queuing for food in Gaza.
