US EditionOne killed and 48 wounded when forces fired on crowd overrunning aid site, Gaza officials say
- On Tuesday, Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd that had broken through fences at a recently established aid center in the Muwasi area of the Gaza Strip, resulting in one death and 48 injuries, according to Gaza health authorities.
- The incident took place as desperate Palestinians broke through fences at the aid distribution center during ongoing relief efforts by a U.S.-supported group, amid nearly three months of blockade that have pushed Gaza toward famine, resulting in chaotic scenes.
- The Israeli forces reported firing warning shots near the distribution center to control the crowd, while the U.S.-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation stated that its personnel adhered to safety measures by temporarily withdrawing and later continuing aid delivery.
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu admitted there was a brief loss of control at the distribution site but said the situation was quickly managed, while UN officials emphasized the risks faced when providing aid in such unstable conditions impacting Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.
- The event underscores rising humanitarian challenges as Israel plans to relocate Gaza's population to a southern zone amid continued conflict with Hamas and disputed aid mechanisms, with UN agencies criticizing the new system's ability to meet needs safely.
