The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has condemned the “new massacre of the starving people in Rafah”, in which at least 30 people were killed when Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians approaching a US-backed aid point, Al Jazeera reports.

The PFLP termed it a “genocide with international complicity and American participation”.

“What happened constitutes a full-fledged war crime,” said the group, which warned Palestinians several days ago that the aid distribution points set up by Israel and the US were “death traps”.

“We demand urgent international and Arab intervention to stop this ongoing massacre and impose strict accountability mechanisms on the criminal occupation, in addition to immediately breaking the siege,” the PFLP said.
