"Israeli forces shot boys in genitals," says doctor

A foreign medical professional working in Gaza has told Channel 4 News that he is seeing an alarming number of patients with similar injuries sustained near aid distribution points operated by 'Israeli' forces. Aid sites have come under international criticism for being unsafe.

Reporting from a hospital in Gaza, the doctor described a concerning trend: many of the wounded, particularly teenage boys, are arriving with gunshot wounds to the same region of the body.

“Lately, we’ve seen a surge in teenage boys coming in with gunshot wounds to the groin area,” he said.

The doctor’s testimony supports growing claims that these so-called aid centers, meant to deliver humanitarian assistance, have instead become zones where Palestinians face an increased risk of being intentionally harmed.
