Overview

  • Hamas militants ambushed a GHF convoy on June 11, killing at least five Palestinian aid workers, injuring many more and raising fears that some may have been taken hostage.
  • Palestinian media report that 28 civilians were shot dead by Israeli soldiers near a GHF center in the Netzarim Corridor, a claim the military says involved warning shots in an active combat zone.
  • The United Nations warns that nearly two million Gazans face starvation while the GHF says it has delivered several million food packages since launching operations on May 26.
  • Major aid organizations and the UN refuse to work with the GHF, accusing it of aligning its distribution with Israeli military objectives.
  • Israel and the US defend the GHF’s approach as essential to keep humanitarian aid out of Hamas’s hands despite repeated outbreaks of chaos and violence at its four centers.
