Gaza's Health Ministry reported that at least 325 people have been killed by Israeli forces in the past week while attempting to reach food. Despite claims of a humanitarian pause, malnutrition is rising, with a famine reportedly unfolding in the region. The military stated that troops have only fired warning shots in these instances. Aid has been restricted, leading to looting of food by desperate crowds before it can be properly distributed. President Trump dispatched officials to observe a food distribution site, amid ongoing international concern about the situation.
At least 325 people in Gaza were killed by Israeli forces while trying to reach food over the past week, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
The crisis prompted President Trump to dispatch two U.S. officials to visit Gaza on Friday with Israeli troops, where they saw a food distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
U.N.-backed experts on hunger say there's a famine unfolding now in Gaza, despite aid restrictions by Israel drawing international condemnation.
Nearly all the food has been looted off trucks by armed gangs and hungry crowds before it can reach warehouses for distribution.
