The United Nations has described the scenes as "shocking and heartbreaking," reporting at least 47 injuries. Al Arabiya news footage captured the chaos, showing Palestinians scattering as shots rang out. The video shows people running for cover, carrying boxes of aid, and a general sense of panic and fear. "It was terrifying," said one eyewitness, who asked not to be identified. "We were just trying to get food for our families, and suddenly there was gunfire." The incident has sparked international outrage and renewed calls for an end to the violence. The UN spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, condemned the actions and stressed the urgent need to expand humanitarian operations in Gaza. He described the scenes as "shocking and heartbreaking." The aid distribution was overseen by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has faced criticism over its methods. Despite the violence, aid organizations continue their efforts to provide essential supplies to those in need. The international community is working to ensure the safety of aid workers and civilians and to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
