At least three Palestinians were trampled to death in a stampede at a bakery in the central Gazan city of Deir el-Balah on Friday, as hungry people rushed for bread.
Two women and "a young girl, died in front of a bakery in Deir al-Balah as a result of a stampede while trying to buy bread", Deir el-Balah's Al-Aqsa hospital said in a statement.
"The crowding and pushing were intense in front of the bakery. Suddenly, there was loud screaming, and they fell to the ground, suffocated by the stampede, including a young girl," one eyewitness told AFP.
