Gaza Famine: Desperate Crowd Storms UN Food Warehouse, Leaving Two Dead

Gaza Famine: Desperate Crowd Storms UN Warehouse, Two Dead DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip—A harrowing scene unfolded in Deir al-Balah yesterday as hundreds of starving Gazans stormed a UN warehouse distributing food aid. The desperate act, captured on video, shows a chaotic scramble for supplies, with people pushing and shoving to feed their families. The World Food Programme (WFP) has confirmed the tragic deaths of two individuals and reported numerous injuries. "It was terrifying," said one eyewitness, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisal. "People were desperate. They were fighting for anything they could get their hands on to survive." The video shows the sheer desperation of the situation, with many people visibly injured and exhausted. The incident comes just one day after the failure of a joint US-Israel initiative designed to oversee the distribution of aid in Gaza. Critics have argued that this initiative, which never fully launched, would have further restricted the flow of much-needed humanitarian assistance to the already vulnerable population. The WFP has called for an immediate increase in aid to prevent further tragedies. The incident highlights the urgent need for increased international support to address the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
