Rescue workers and survivors recount massacre on al-Rasheed street

Fares Afana, head of the ambulance service at Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, said medics found “dozens or hundreds” of bodies lying on the ground once they reached the scene.

He said some wounded had to be carried to hospitals on donkey carts as there were not enough ambulances to take all the dead and wounded.

Ahmad, a 31-year-old who only gave his first name, told Middle East Eye that aid trucks reached the street at 4am, and that Israeli forces fired at people trying to reach the convoy. Ahmad was shot in the arm and the leg.

“The shooting was indiscriminate, people shot in the head, in the foot, in the stomach,” he said. “One man was martyred, then run over by the tank.”

His accounts contradicts the Israeli claim that Palestinians were killed in a crush while looting trucks.
