Overview

  • Health ministry figures show over 300 Palestinians have been killed trying to reach Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid sites since late May.
  • Gaza’s civil defence agency reported that Israeli forces shot dead 15 people and wounded 60 at the Netzarim corridor distribution point on Thursday.
  • The United Nations describes the foundation’s guarded delivery system as a dangerous breach of humanitarian neutrality and refuses to cooperate with its operations.
  • A strict blockade and entry controls have left more than 1 million people without adequate shelter after vital supplies such as tents and tarpaulins were blocked.
  • Global focus on the Israel-Iran confrontation risks overshadowing Gaza’s deepening famine and the ongoing violence at food distribution hubs.
