The killings of more than 500 Palestinians near aid hubs in Gaza over the past month is a “travesty” and a global “scandal”, says academic Sami Al-Arian.
Speaking to Al Jazeera from Istanbul, Al-Arian, director of the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Istanbul Zaim University, said it is “unbelievable to think of this as being routine”.
“Every day people go there hoping that they can get some food so that they can feed their starving children and they end up dead, they end up injured, in a place where there is no medical facility in which they can even treat their injuries.”
Al-Arian said that the situation was “nothing short of a scandal for the whole world”.
“No one could seriously argue that this is a food distribution centre when day after day … we’re having Palestinians not just being injured, being killed,” he said.
