Liberal Party NEC Statement – Palestinian Deaths at Gaza Aid Distribution Points

The Liberal Party notes with horror a third day of the deaths of Palestinian civilians in the vicinity of aid distribution points in southern Gaza.
Local reports suggest between 23 and 31 people have been killed by and a minimum of 79 wounded in the first of these events as crowds moving towards an aid station were fired upon.
The party believes that the decision by the Israeli and US governments to distribute aid via the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is not recognised by the international community has recklessly endangered civilian lives.
The positioning of aid points also supports the Israeli policy of forcing the population of Gaza to vacate the northern part of the territory, with no concern for the availability of humanitarian aid or the provision of medical facilities in the overcrowded and devastate southern region of the strip.
