Overview

• Israeli forces and drones fired on crowds waiting at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites on June 24, killing at least 44 people and wounding scores.
• The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation took charge of food distribution in late May, replacing the UN system after Israel accused Hamas of diverting supplies.
• The UN human rights office has documented over 410 deaths at these aid points since the GHF rollout and deemed the use of force a likely war crime.
• Facing criticism from the UN and major aid groups, the GHF has sought an emergency $30 million US grant to prevent operational collapse.
• Gaza’s death toll has surpassed 56,000 and malnutrition is widespread, prompting renewed international calls for expanded ceasefire and humanitarian access.
