Overview

• At least ten Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces over two days while seeking food at US-backed aid distribution sites in Rafah, health officials report.
• The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation opened a second safe distribution site this week, delivering 840,000 meals in 48 hours to bypass the UN-led system.
• UN agencies and humanitarian groups have denounced the GHF’s secure hubs as unsafe and warned they could violate humanitarian principles by displacing civilians.
• Thousands of Palestinians stormed a UN World Food Programme warehouse in central Gaza, with initial reports of two deaths and multiple injuries during a desperate raid.
• Israel expanded its campaign beyond Gaza by striking Yemen’s Sanaa airport, destroying the last plane of the national carrier and underscoring the conflict’s wider regional impact.
