Chaos at Gaza Aid Site Leaves One Dead, Dozens Injured

At least one person was killed and 48 others were wounded when gunfire erupted at a newly established aid distribution site in Gaza. The incident occurred as desperate crowds broke through fences at the hub, which was set up by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S. and Israeli-backed organization.

Witnesses reported hearing Israeli tank and gunfire, as well as seeing a military helicopter firing flares. The U.N. Human Rights Office for the Palestinian territories stated that most injuries appeared to be caused by Israeli army fire. However, it remains unclear whether the gunfire came from Israeli forces, private security contractors, or others.

The aid site, located near Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, was established to distribute food and supplies to the war-torn region. However, humanitarian organizations have criticized the new system, arguing that it fails to meet the needs of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents and allows Israel to control food distribution.

The chaotic scene underscores the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where months of border closures have pushed the population to the brink of famine. The U.N. and other aid groups have warned that such incidents highlight the dangers of distributing food under these conditions. 

As tensions continue to rise, the international community faces mounting pressure to address the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza.
