Israel Acknowledges Palestinian Civilians Harmed at Gaza Aid Sites ...

On June 30, the Israeli military confirmed that Palestinian civilians were injured at aid distribution points in Gaza and stated that new directives had been issued to troops following a review of these incidents amid the ongoing conflict and blockade.
This acknowledgment follows an 11-week blockade lifted on May 19, 2024, during which aid deliveries were severely restricted, pushing Gaza's population toward starvation and triggering violent incidents.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation , a US-backed group, began distributing aid at a limited number of guarded mega-sites at the end of May, but killings and shootings of aid seekers have persisted near these locations.
Since late May, the Gaza Strip has witnessed the deaths of over 580 Palestinians and injuries to more than 4,000 individuals while queuing for food aid, with nearly 95% of its 2.1 million inhabitants relying on humanitarian assistance amid soaring prices and widespread profiteering, as highlighted by economic analyst Imad Labad.
These conditions have worsened Gaza's humanitarian crisis, with calls from economists for aid reform and transparent delivery systems to prevent exploitation and reduce suffering under the blockade and conflict.
