I've read about it from several different sources including Al Jazeera quoting the initial Hamas estimate and nowhere did they claim "thousands mowed down". AFAIR the highest count Ive seen until now was 80-something.

I agree that any number of people killed while lined up for or distributing emergency food aid over 0 is absolutely unconscionable, of course, in case there's any doubt.

Yeah the "thousands" was from one bad headline. There were thousands of people there.

The death toll is over 100 now, plus over 700 more wounded. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-news-02-29-2024-f9b5a62a80d8b83eac4946d3c85af58b
