Aid to Gaza Hangs by a Thread Amid Looting and Starvation
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distributed 1,157,760 meals across three sites on Sunday and announced reopening one center while closing another in Tel Sultan.
- Following Israel’s decision to permit limited UN-led aid deliveries on May 19 after an 11-week blockade, the GHF started distributing assistance in Gaza on May 26.
- Between June 1 and June 3, amid ongoing turmoil and operational challenges, numerous Palestinians lost their lives in areas close to GHF distribution centers.
- A controversial US- and Israeli-backed humanitarian group ceased food aid distribution on June 7, citing threats from Hamas that the group denies, and planned to reopen two sites on June 8.
- The crisis escalates amid stalled ceasefire talks, insufficient aid inflows, and over 54,000 Palestinians killed, with Hamas pledging to protect UN aid routes against looting.
