Thousands rush into new aid distribution centre in south Gaza
- On Tuesday, large crowds of Palestinians surged into a newly opened aid distribution centre in southern Gaza's Rafah, resulting in disorderly scenes.
- The event occurred after Israel partially eased an 11-week blockade on Gaza that had resulted in critical deficits of essential food supplies and medical provisions.
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US- and Israel-backed group running the site, faced difficulties as crowds tore down fences and overwhelmed controls.
- The Israeli military fired warning shots outside the compound and reported restoring control, while GHF stated that normal operations resumed after a temporary retreat.
- UN and aid experts critiqued the mechanism as unfeasible and insufficient, urging full crossing reopenings and secure conditions for meaningful relief delivery.
