US EditionOne killed and 48 wounded when forces fired on crowd overrunning aid site, Gaza officials say
- On Tuesday, in Muwasi near Rafah in Gaza, Israeli troops fired on a crowd overrunning a new aid-distribution site, killing one and wounding 48 Palestinians, Gaza health officials reported.
- The incident occurred as desperate Palestinians overwhelmed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s newly opened center amid nearly three months of an Israeli blockade pushing Gaza to famine, prompting some to break through fences.
- Israeli troops said they fired warning shots outside the site to control the situation after chaos erupted when hundreds of thousands gathered for food distribution managed under a U.S.-backed aid mechanism opposed by UN agencies.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledged a momentary loss of control but affirmed the situation was contained, while UN officials warned the new system exposes civilians to death and injury amid 19 months of brutal conflict.
- The event highlights growing humanitarian risks in Gaza’s blockade and conflict, where aid distribution mechanisms remain contested and the planned relocation of Gaza’s population adds further complexity and potential suffering.
