A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Gaza as at least 20 Palestinians were killed in a stampede at a food distribution site run by the Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). This incident is part of a larger pattern, with the UN reporting nearly 800 deaths near aid hubs since late May, many occurring at or around GHF-run sites.
Eyewitnesses and health officials describe chaotic scenes, with crowds facing gunfire, tear gas, and violence as they attempt to access desperately needed food. Aid organizations and international bodies are blaming both flawed distribution procedures and the presence of armed agitators for the repeated tragedies.
The crisis has overwhelmed Gaza's health system, with hospitals struggling to cope with mass casualty incidents and rising malnutrition.
