Starving Palestinians pepper-sprayed at GHF aid site in Gaza, video shows
Briefly

Israeli soldiers employed pepper spray against desperate Palestinian aid seekers at a GHF distribution point in Rafah, Gaza. The recent video shows men, women, and children fleeing from the soldiers while covering their mouths. Since the GHF began its operations, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that at least 891 individuals have died in pursuit of food, with a significant number of fatalities happening near GHF sites. The aid operation has drawn criticism for overshadowing existing UN-led efforts amid a military blockade being eased by Israel.
In a 20-second video verified by Al Jazeera, Israeli troops used pepper spray against desperate Palestinian aid seekers in Rafah during a distribution event.
Since the GHF commenced operations in late May, at least 891 people have died while trying to obtain food, with 674 fatalities occurring near GHF sites.
The aid operation run by GHF has been heavily criticized for overshadowing Gaza's established UN-led aid distribution network, following a lifted blockade.
During the ongoing war in Gaza, on a recent Sunday alone, at least 54 Palestinians lost their lives, including 51 aid seekers.
