US EditionOne killed and 48 wounded when forces fired on crowd overrunning aid site, Gaza officials say
- On Wednesday, Israeli troops fired warning shots at a crowd overrunning a new aid-distribution site outside Rafah in Gaza, killing one and wounding 48.
- The shooting occurred after Palestinians, driven by severe food shortages resulting from an extended Israeli blockade lasting close to three months, broke through fences in desperation.
- The aid site was operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.- and Israeli-backed group that temporarily halted operations to ensure safety amid the chaos.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu said there was a momentary loss of control at the site but that order was restored, while UN officials warned the new aid system exposes people to injury.
- The incident underscores the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where aid delivery struggles amid security concerns and a contentious new distribution mechanism opposed by UN agencies.
