GHF Food Site Attack: 30 Palestinians Killed While Waiting for Food Parcels

At least 30 people have been killed and 130 wounded at the only remaining food distribution point operated by GHF in southern Gaza.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza, said the Israeli army opened fire indiscriminately on a large crowd.

“Many desperate families in the north have been making dangerous journeys all the way to the south to reach the only operating distribution centre in Rafah,” he said.

“Many of the bodies are still on the ground,” Mahmoud said, adding that the wounded had been transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

When the Israeli- and US-backed organisation started operations in May, it had four distribution points across Gaza for 2.1 million people, compared with more than 400 centres previously operated by the UN.

On Wednesday, the GHF said it was closing its hub in Khan Younis for maintenance and renovation, leaving only one site open, in Rafah. GHF-led operations are therefore forcing Palestinians to travel south if they want food, creating dangerous bottlenecks, according to our colleagues on the ground.
