UN, aid groups slam US-Israel-backed initiative after deadly rush in Gaza
Briefly

The incident at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's aid distribution site saw at least three Palestinians killed and many wounded when the Israeli military opened fire. While the GHF denied the allegations of excessive force, the Israeli military stated they only fired warning shots to manage the crowd. This event has drawn significant criticism from the UN. Spokesman Stephane Dujarric addressed the heartbreaking nature of the scenes and stressed that humanitarian aid must be distributed safely and impartially, highlighting a gap between the GHF's approach and UN principles.
