‘Execution site’: Palestinians face death collecting food at US-Israeli Gaza aid points

For two days, Ramez Jendiya’s wife and five children heard nothing from him after he left to collect a food package from a US-backed aid distribution point in central Gaza.

After dozens of failed attempts to reach him from her makeshift tent in Palestine Stadium in Gaza City, his wife finally received the news: he had been killed near the aid distribution point.

“On Friday, he told his wife he was going to collect aid after they ran out of food. He didn’t usually take his phone with him, but she expected him to be late because this was his third or fourth attempt and he came back late every time,” Ahmed Jendiya, his brother-in-law, told Middle East Eye.
