Israeli troops opened fire near a chaotic aid distribution center overwhelmed by thousands of hungry Palestinians, following a tight blockade on critical supplies. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's new hub was ill-prepared for the influx, leading to panic and some injuries amidst military presence. Despite efforts to provide food aid, most left empty-handed. Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledged a temporary loss of control during the distribution, as workers abandoned their posts. Chaos ensued as desperate individuals attempted to access limited resources, with onlookers noting gunfire and military activity overhead.
At one moment in the late afternoon, the volume of people at the SDS [secure distribution centre] was such that the GHF team fell back to allow a small number of Palestinians in Gaza to take aid safely and dissipate.
It was chaos. People were panicked, with many left empty handed after visiting the overwhelmed centre.
