Dozens injured by gunshots amid chaos at Gaza aid hub, U.N. says.
Briefly

On Tuesday, violence erupted in southern Gaza as at least one Palestinian was killed and several injured during a chaotic scene at a new aid hub in Rafah. This hub, operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—a private organization supported by Israel and the U.S.—is a part of a controversial aid distribution mechanism that bypasses the U.N. Initial reports indicate that the injuries mostly stem from Israeli gunfire, despite the military's claim of controlling the area to facilitate aid distribution. The ensuing chaos saw crowds rush for aid amidst military helicopter activity and tension on the ground.
