Germany demands Israeli army 'fully explain' how 'mass panic and shooting' in Gaza happened

Germany’s foreign minister Annalena Baerbock has demanded that Israel’s army “fully explain” how Palestinians ended up dead yesterday while they were gathered to receive humanitarian aid, an event which she said had shocked her.

In a post on social media, she said:

People wanted relief supplies for themselves and their families and found themselves dead. The reports from Gaza shock me. The Israeli army must fully explain how the mass panic and shooting could have happened. My condolences go out to the families of the victims.

In Gaza people are closer to dying than to living. More humanitarian aid needs to come in. Immediately.

We now finally need humanitarian action #Feuerpause (#ceasefire) so that the hostages are finally released from the hands of Hamas and more people don’t die in Gaza. And help can be distributed safely.
