Thousands rush into new aid distribution centre in south Gaza
- On May 27, 2025, thousands of Palestinians surged into a newly opened aid distribution location in Rafah, southern Gaza, operated by the U.S.-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
- The influx followed an almost three-month Israeli blockade and arose from urgent hunger and poverty, compounded by limited aid entering the strip.
- The chaotic scene included people climbing over gates and attacking each other, causing the GHF team to fall back and allow a small number to safely receive aid.
- The GHF distributed about 8,000 food boxes, equating to roughly 462,000 meals, while the UN and others described the images as heartbreaking and called for full reopening of crossings.
- The incident highlights challenges in aid delivery amid security screening, disputed causes of delays, and raises questions about the distribution model and humanitarian access.
