US EditionThousands rush into new aid distribution centre in south Gaza
- On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, large crowds of Palestinians surged into a recently opened aid distribution center managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in southern Gaza.
- This event followed an 11-week Israeli blockade that blocked most humanitarian aid, creating severe food shortages and famine risks for Gaza's two million residents.
- Videos showed crowds tearing down fences and climbing barriers at the Tel al-Sultan site, while the GHF temporarily retreated to allow safe aid distribution amid chaotic scenes.
- The GHF distributed about 8,000 food boxes, equal to around 462,000 meals, aiming to feed 1.2 million people or 60% of Gaza by week's end despite criticism and concerns over limited coverage.
- The incident highlights shortcomings in the new Israeli- and US-backed aid mechanism, including lack of sites in northern Gaza and disputes over its humanitarian efficacy and neutrality.
