US EditionIsrael Acknowledges Palestinian Civilians Harmed at Gaza Aid Sites ...
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUN 29 – Since May, over 580 Palestinians have died waiting for aid at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites amid restricted deliveries and ongoing military actions, health officials report.
- On June 30, the Israeli military confirmed that Palestinian civilians were injured at aid distribution points in Gaza and stated that new directives had been issued to troops following a review of these incidents amid the ongoing conflict and blockade.
- This acknowledgment follows an 11-week blockade lifted on May 19, 2024, during which aid deliveries were severely restricted, pushing Gaza's population toward starvation and triggering violent incidents.
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation , a US-backed group, began distributing aid at a limited number of guarded mega-sites at the end of May, but killings and shootings of aid seekers have persisted near these locations.
- Since late May, the Gaza Strip has witnessed the deaths of over 580 Palestinians and injuries to more than 4,000 individuals while queuing for food aid, with nearly 95% of its 2.1 million inhabitants relying on humanitarian assistance amid soaring prices and widespread profiteering, as highlighted by economic analyst Imad Labad.
- These conditions have worsened Gaza's humanitarian crisis, with calls from economists for aid reform and transparent delivery systems to prevent exploitation and reduce suffering under the blockade and conflict.
