US EditionThousands rush into new aid distribution centre in south Gaza
- Thousands of Palestinians flocked to a newly opened aid distribution location in Rafah, southern Gaza, managed by a US- and Israeli-supported organization, on Tuesday.
- The incident followed the partial easing of an 11-week Israeli blockade, with Israel and the US backing a controversial new aid mechanism managed by GHF.
- Large crowds tore down fencing and climbed barriers designed to control the flow, while the Israeli military fired warning shots outside the compound to regain control.
- GHF reported handing out around 8,000 boxes of food with the intention of reaching 1.2 million people, but UN aid officials dismissed this effort as diverting attention from the more urgent need to reopen crossings and authorize the full delivery of emergency supplies.
- The chaotic scenes exposed challenges in the new distribution system and intensified calls for fully reopening Gaza crossings and secure, expedited aid delivery.
