Children starving to death as Israel 'weaponises' aid

Non-profits slam rule saying they must give up staff data

- BY CHRIS HUGHES

FOUR more Gazans starved to death yesterday as more than 100 nonprofit groups warned Israel is weaponising aid.

It came on a day when Israeli troops killed 23 more Palestinians in the Strip, at least 10 reported to be trying to get humanitarian aid.

The number of people who have died from hunger has now hit 239, 106 of them children.

Musa al-Shaer, 11, is one of those injured while seeking food. Musa was photographed in the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis yesterday as he faces the possibility of losing an arm and being unable to walk.

An Israeli shell hit his arm and shrapnel lacerated his back and chest while he was trying to collect food from a humanitarian aid point in Rafah, southern Gaza.
