American private military contractors used severe crowd control measures in Gaza, leading to a stampede among thousands of aid-seeking Palestinians. At least 21 individuals were reported dead due to these tactics, which included the use of tear gas, stun grenades, and pepper spray. Witnesses described chaos as the crowd realized the aid distribution site was closed. Some deaths were attributed to tear gas inhalation, compounded by escalating violence from Israeli forces. This incident adds to the growing death toll associated with the U.S.- and Israeli-supported humanitarian aid scheme.
