Gaza civil defence reports 10 deaths near aid centre, GHF still delivers 23,000 boxes (each box has 3.5 days of meals for 5.5 people)
[GEO.TV] The Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
civil defence agency said that 10 people were killed and more than 30 maimed Monday when Israeli troops fired at people trying to enter food distribution centres.

The Israeli military acknowledged that it had fired "warning shots" during incidents near food centres.

Gaza civil defence agency front man Mahmoud Bassal told AFP that Israeli forces fired "several times" at people at the al-Alam roundabout, close to the GHF distribution centre at Rafah.

He said six Paleostinians heading for the aid centre were killed in one incident and four more about eight hours later.

The Israeli military told AFP that "several individuals attempted to approach IDF troops operating in the Rafah area, posing a threat to the troops".

"IDF troops fired warning shots to distance the individuals. The IDF is aware of reports regarding several individuals injured, the details are under review," a front man added.

Bassal said that at another GHF centre south of Gaza city, 31 people were maimed by Israeli gunfire in a separate incident early in the morning.

The Israeli military front man said "thousands of Paleostinian civilians attempted to break into the aid distribution center, posing a threat to IDF troops operating in the area of the Netzarim Corridor".

"The troops called out to the suspects in an attempt to distance them, but as they continued advancing in a way that endangered the troops, the soldiers responded with warning shots."
The view from the Israeli side by the Times of Israel:
Witnesses accuse Israel-backed Abu Shabab militia of firing into crowd at Tel Sultan aid facility; IDF says troops destroyed mile-long tunnel in recent operations

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said Monday it was forced to close one of its aid distribution sites due to “chaos,” as Hamas authorities claimed Israeli forces and allied local gunmen fired at Palestinians heading to the facility.

The GHF on Monday opened three distribution points — one in Wadi Gaza and two in Rafah’s Tel Sultan — but said it was forced to later close one of the Tel Sultan centers due to the “chaos of the crowds.”

A GHF spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.

The Hamas-run health ministry announced that six people were killed. Witnesses told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named that the button men appeared to have been allied with the Israeli military, operating in close proximity to troops and retreating into an Israeli military zone in the southern city of Rafah after the crowd hurled stones at them.

Heba Joda, who was in the crowd Monday, said gunfire broke out at a roundabout where previous shootings have occurred, around a kilometer (half a mile) from the aid site. She said the shots came from the "dangerous zone" where Israeli troops and their allies are stationed.

She said she saw men from a local militia led by Yasser Abu Shabaab trying to organize the crowds into lines on the road. When people pushed forward, the button men opened fire. People then hurled stones at them, forcing them to withdraw toward the Israeli positions, she said.

The Abu Shabaab group, which calls itself the Popular Forces, says it is guarding the surroundings of the GHF centers in southern Gaza. Aid workers say it has a long history of looting UN aid trucks. GHF has said it does not work with the Abu Shabaab group.

Defense sources confirmed on Thursday that Israel was arming the group, which has been linked in the past to smuggling operations with Egyptian jihadist groups.

Hussein Shamimi, who was also in the crowd, said his 14-year-old cousin was among those killed.

"There was an ambush... the Israelis from one side and Abu Shabaab from another," he said.

Mohammed Kabaga, a Paleostinian displaced from northern Gaza, said he saw masked men firing toward the crowds after trying to organize them. "They fired at us directly," he said while being treated at Nasser Hospital, in the nearby city of Khan Younis. He had been shot in the neck, as had three other people seen by an AP journalist at the hospital.

Kabaga said he saw around 50 masked men with 4×4 vehicles in the area around the roundabout, close to Israeli military lines. "We didn’t receive anything," he said. "They shot us."

Nasser Hospital said several men had been shot in the upper body, some in the head. Zaher al-Waheidi, head of the Hamas-run health ministry’s records department, said six people were killed and more than 99 maimed, some of them at another GHF center in central Gaza.

The GHF, in a statement released overnight, slammed Hamas’s "explicit threats" against its staff and those who accept the aid it distributes.

"At the same time, Hamas endorsed the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
, an organization it has routinely stolen from, as the only legitimate providers of aid," it said. "The contrast is telling. After delivering over 10 million meals, GHF has built a system that delivers aid directly to the people who actually need it. Despite these threats, we will continue to deliver urgent humanitarian relief with resolve and purpose.

"The international community, including the United Nations and other aid groups, must immediately and unequivocally condemn Hamas’s threats against both aid workers and civilians. There is no justification for targeting aid workers or the civilians they serve, or for silence from those who know better. Hamas must understand its actions are unacceptable, and the world is watching," it added.

On Sunday, GHF said it delivered 11 trucks’ worth of aid to community leaders for distribution in northern Rafah, as part of a pilot program that will see supplies delivered directly to Gazooks instead of forcing them to walk long distances and cross IDF lines in order to receive aid.

The agency has faced heavy scrutiny from other aid bodies, as well as the UN and foreign countries, which say that it does not sufficiently address the humanitarian needs in the war-torn Paleostinian enclave.

GHF says it handed out over 23,000 boxes of food at two sites Monday

[IsraelTimes] The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it distributed over 23,000 boxes of food at two distribution sites today in Rafah and central Gaza.

This brings the total boxes delivered since a May 26 launch to 192,480, according to GHF.

The US- and Israeli-backed foundation says each box contains meals for 5.5 people for 3.5 days.

However, its contents are largely dry food products that require community kitchens or cooking equipment to prepare, which are very scarce in war-ravaged Gaza.

#4 Qatar has donated a great deal, though most of it probably went to underground construction and ingredients for explosives.
