Gaza Aid Halted as Violence Claims 27 Lives

Gaza Aid Centers Shut as Violence Continues: At least 27 killed in food queue shootings. Aid distribution centers in Gaza are closed today after the Israeli military declared access roads "combat zones." This decision follows three consecutive days of shootings at food queues, resulting in at least 27 deaths. The situation is dire, described by the head of the International Red Cross as "worse than hell on earth." Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, stated, "We are witnessing unthinkable loss of life in Gaza." The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, chosen by Israel to run distribution points, has been hampered by aid agencies and the international community. A warning has been issued that as many as 50,000 pregnant women and new mothers are at serious risk due to severe food and medicine shortages. The video shows heartbreaking scenes of people struggling to survive, highlighting the urgent need for humanitarian intervention. Despite the challenges, aid workers continue their efforts to alleviate suffering.
