Gaza City.- At least 20 Gazans were injured this Friday, including one seriously, in a drone attack while they were heading to a food distribution point in the Al Bureij refugee camp, central Gaza Strip, as reported by medical sources.
"Al Aqsa and Al Awda hospitals have so far received 20 injured people from a group of citizens gathered near Wadi Gaza. One critically injured, the others range from moderate to mild, most injured by attacks with quadcopter drones," details a statement from these hospitals.

The distribution of humanitarian aid remains very limited after Israel, following almost three months of complete siege and a veto on the entry of supplies, imposed a system based on militarized complexes: so far two in the south of Gaza and another in Bureij (center).
The north of Gaza, where the majority of the population is concentrated, remains excluded from the distribution of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), backed by the United States and with an uncertain source of funding.
The three centers, however, are in many cases located kilometers away from exhausted, malnourished citizens with children, who must undertake long walks along unsafe routes to try to collect food boxes.
From day one, disturbances have been recorded at these distribution points where thousands of hungry people have gathered, resulting in shots fired by Israeli troops stationed outside these areas.
The Gazan Ministry of Health assured EFE that, in two days, at least eight Gazans died in these incidents or near the centers, while dozens were injured.The boxes that GHF has distributed between Monday and yesterday Thursday, about 32,000, can only supply about 175,000 people for three and a half days. Gaza has 2.1 million inhabitants, half of them children.
