“He raised the bag, as if surrendering. He was shot in the arm, it was torn off. A bullet hit his arm here too, it was also severed. He was shot in the stomach, then in the back of the neck. Five bullets from within a tank, each one tearing a wound like this... A 19-year-old boy, who hadn't even begun to live his life, just for fetching a box...”(starts crying)

This is Mahmoud Qassem’s son Khader. He was killed while on his way to get an aid box for his family at one of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's (GHF) distribution sites.
He is one of over 500 people killed so far, while trying to reach aid sites or trucks carrying supplies, the Hamas-run health ministry says.

“He told me, “I’m in a safe place” — he had gone to the Netzarim distribution center — and I told him, “Take care of yourself, and may God protect you.” At 1 a.m., I tried calling him again, but his phone wasn’t receiving calls. I started to feel anxious. The whole time, there was no word, and I waited until 2 p.m. on Friday. I felt like a fire was burning inside me. I went to Nuseirat and headed to the hospital to look for him, maybe he was injured. But he wasn’t there.”

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation – an Israeli-American organisation - has blamed Hamas for the violence.
The Israeli military claims to fire warning shots at individuals who pose a threat to its troops. The sites are within Israeli-declared militarized zones.
Israel does not allow international media into Gaza, making outside independent verification of claims impossible.

People in Gaza don't have much choice, said Mahmoud. The Israeli government only allows a trickle of aid into Gaza.

“ We are living in conditions that only God truly knows, and only God feels our pain. No one else does, not Hamas, not Israel, not the Arab countries. No one feels for us.”

The family is from Shuja'iyya, a neighborhood in the east of Gaza City. They’ve been displaced multiple times. Now they live in the city’s former main football venue, the Yarmouk Stadium.

Mahmoud himself has been to a GHF center in Rafah in southern Gaza several times to try to get food.

“But I couldn’t bring anything like other people, because I am slow at running. I tried to gather aid from under people's feet, such as cans of beans, pasta, and simple items I could carry.”
He said it took two days for rescue services to get permission from the Israeli military to recover his son’s body.

“My only goal was to go in and bring back my son’s body, I just wanted to bring him back. This time, we were able to enter, and I found that Khader had been martyred. His body, along with the others, was already partially decomposed. He lost his life, his youth, all for the sake of making a living.”

There are already many others like him, says Mahmoud Qassem. And probably many more to come.
