Gaza Aid Site Shooting: Verified Footage Exposes Deadly Chaos

Gaza Humanitarian Crisis: Verified Footage Reveals Deadly Israeli Fire on Aid Distribution Site On June 1, 2025, at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution site in Rafah, a tragic incident unfolded. Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians desperately seeking aid, resulting in numerous casualties. The National News has verified footage that captures the chaos and panic as people scrambled for cover. "People were shot at without warning. Chaos broke out." Ibrahim Abu Taima, an eyewitness, recounted the horrific scene. The incident occurred just before dawn, adding to the already tense atmosphere. Satellite images analyzed by The National show the aid distribution site was designed with crowd control measures in place, including sand berms and designated entry and exit points. However, the video shows these measures were overwhelmed by the panicked crowd. Following the incident, videos circulated on social media showing at least nine bodies lying near the aid site. This tragedy is not isolated; on June 3rd, another 27 Palestinians were killed near similar aid distribution sites. Many reports indicate the use of drones in these attacks. In response to the escalating violence, the US-Israeli-run GHF announced the temporary closure of its aid distribution sites for renovations. The events highlight the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.
