Overview

  • At least 17 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured on June 10 when Israeli gunfire struck a crowd at a GHF site in central Gaza, local health authorities reported.
  • Six people died and nearly 100 were wounded on June 9 in Rafah after Israeli forces and allied gunmen linked to the Popular Forces opened fire on those seeking food.
  • Since late May, the new GHF distribution system has been tied to at least 127 deaths and hundreds of injuries at multiple aid centers.
  • The foundation has temporarily closed its distribution sites and the United Nations has criticized the program for lacking impartiality and neutrality.
  • Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked as Gaza’s humanitarian crisis worsens under a tightened Israeli-Egyptian blockade.
