Overview

• At least eight Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded on June 15 when Israeli forces opened fire at crowds near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution points in Rafah and the Netzarim corridor.
• Since GHF began operations in late May, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports at least 300 Palestinians have died and over 2,649 have been injured seeking food at its aid sites.
• Distribution centers operated by the U.S.-backed foundation are guarded by private contractors and overseen by Israeli forces, concentrating civilians in declared military zones.
• UN officials say the new system falls short of Gaza’s needs, violates humanitarian principles and enables Israel to control aid access, heightening the risk of further mass displacement.
• The broader Israeli military campaign in Gaza has killed over 55,000 Palestinians and displaced roughly 90 percent of the territory’s population, compounding a severe humanitarian crisis.
