• Eyewitness accounts and Associated Press video footage show Israeli forces and U.S. contractors firing live ammunition, stun grenades and heavy weapons at desperate crowds at fenced aid hubs.
• Gaza Humanitarian Foundation chairman Johnnie Moore denies any violent incidents at GHF sites and commits to keeping them open despite widespread NGO and UN refusal to participate.
• The Israel Defense Forces denies deliberate shootings of civilians and has opened an internal investigation into the deadly crowd-control measures.
• The United States has pledged $30 million to the GHF even as major aid groups denounce its militarized approach as a breach of humanitarian neutrality.
