US EditionOne killed and 48 wounded when forces fired on crowd overrunning aid site, Gaza officials say
GAZA STRIP, MAY 28 – Nearly three months of blockade have pushed Gaza to famine, with 400 trucks of aid waiting but distribution hindered by security concerns, the U.N. said.
- A crowd overran a new aid-distribution site in Muawasi, Gaza Strip, on Wednesday, where Israeli troops fired on the crowd, killing one and wounding 48.
- Following close to three months of Israeli restrictions on Gaza’s borders that brought the region to the edge of severe food scarcity, desperate Palestinians sought sustenance at a U.S.-supported aid distribution center.
- Palestinians broke through fences at the distribution site, prompting Israeli troops to fire warning shots and maintain control amid chaotic scenes of thousands gathering for aid.
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated there was a momentary loss of control at the distribution point but that the situation was brought under control, while U.N. officials highlighted the new system's dangers to civilians.
- The events underscore ongoing humanitarian challenges in Gaza, as aid efforts face logistical and security obstacles, while Israel aims to prevent Hamas from diverting supplies amid a prolonged conflict.
