Four Palestinians die in storming of UN food warehouse a day after gunfire at new Gaza aid site
- On Wednesday, a group of starving Palestinians forced their way into a United Nations storage facility in the middle of Gaza, leading to at least two fatalities and several injuries.
- This event occurred amid worsening famine conditions linked to an 11-week Israeli blockade that severely restricted food and aid entry into Gaza.
- The break-in followed chaos and gunfire at a separate aid distribution site run by a US-backed group the day before, where one person died and 48 were wounded.
- UN Special Coordinator Sigrid Kaag described the crisis as plunging civilians into an abyss and warned that the aid now coming in is 'comparable to a lifeboat after the ship has sunk.'
- The incident highlights the urgent need for humanitarian access and renewed political efforts, including a planned June conference aimed at reviving a two-state solution.
