Overview

  • At least 20 Palestinians died during a July 16 distribution in Khan Younès as violent chaos erupted at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation site.
  • GHF claims armed Hamas-linked agitators triggered a stampede that crushed victims, while Gaza Civil Defense and video footage suggest some were hit by Israeli army fire.
  • UN agencies and major NGOs continue to boycott the US- and Israel-backed GHF, citing breaches of neutrality and hazardous operational practices.
  • A UN report confirms 875 aid-seekers have been killed since the GHF took over distributions on May 26.
  • Ceasefire negotiations remain stalled and Israel’s plan for a sealed “humanitarian city” in Rafah looms as Gaza endures its longest siege.
