At least 20 Palestinians died in a stampede at a Gaza aid site amid Israel’s blockade and a deepening humanitarian crisis.

A stampede at a food distribution site run by an Israeli-backed American organization in the Gaza Strip killed 20 Palestinians on Wednesday, the group said, in the first acknowledgment of deadly violence at its operations.

Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinians near food distribution hubs in southern Gaza, witnesses and Gaza hospital officials say.

The only way to end the genocide and the broader war of which it is a part is through the massive expansion of the class struggle in every country.

Twenty people were killed Wednesday at an aid distribution site run by an Israeli and US-backed organization, while talks for a ceasefire in Gaza make little headway.
