US EditionA Palestinian Describes 15 Minutes of Terror Trying to Get Food in the New Gaza Distribution System
- On May 29, 2025, Hijazi walked 7 kilometers to a new food distribution center in the southern Gaza Strip's evacuated militarized zone where chaos erupted.
- The center, operated by the U.S.- and Israeli-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, was established following an extended Israeli restriction that halted all food deliveries to Gaza for almost three months.
- Crowds of tens of thousands overwhelmed the site, with Israeli soldiers opening fire to control the disorder, causing casualties including Hijazi's 23-year-old cousin who was shot in the foot.

- This violent event underscores the difficulties in distributing aid amid reduced food supplies and opposition from humanitarian groups, with Hijazi calling it "15 minutes of terror" and vowing to try again.
