Al Jazeera has spoken with several Palestinians who said they saw Israeli forces open fire on aid seekers amid chaotic scenes as people scrambled for flour and milk.

One of the men, Rakan Jneid, said people rushed towards aid trucks as they headed towards a distribution point, with some being run over.

“Today, milk came in and people started fighting each other to take the milk,” Jneid said. “The Israelis opened fire to take advantage of the situation.”

Another Palestinian, Muhannad Abu Jarad, also described seeing the Israeli army “shooting at us”.
