US EditionThousands rush into new aid distribution centre in south Gaza
- On May 27, 2025, thousands of Palestinians gathered at an aid distribution location operated by a U.S.-supported foundation in the southern city of Rafah within Gaza.
- The event followed almost three months of Israeli blockade that limited aid flow and heightened the population’s desperation for food and basic supplies.
- The chaotic crowd surged despite attempts to control entry, causing delays and forcing the GHF team to temporarily retreat to avoid casualties during distribution.
- The GHF reported providing approximately eight thousand food packages, which amounts to about 462,000 meals, amid incidents where Israeli forces reportedly fired warning shots near the distribution site to regain control.
- The incident highlighted ongoing humanitarian challenges as UN agencies called for full aid crossing reopenings while critics questioned the aid mechanism’s neutrality and effectiveness.
