Israeli troops open fire as starved Palestinians storm US-backed aid centre
In southern Gaza, chaos erupted as thousands of desperate Palestinians stormed a US-backed aid distribution centre run by the newly formed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Israeli troops reportedly fired warning shots, and gunfire and flares were heard as crowds overwhelmed the site. With Gaza on the brink of famine after months of blockade, tensions are soaring. The UN has condemned the GHF¡¯s approach, calling it unfit and unethical.
