Chaos and Violence Erupt as New US-Backed Aid Distribution System Launches in Gaza

A series of violent incidents and chaotic scenes have unfolded in Gaza following the introduction of a new U.S.-backed aid distribution system aimed at alleviating the humanitarian crisis. Reports indicate that four people were killed when hundreds of starving Palestinians stormed a UN food warehouse, desperate for aid amid ongoing shortages. The U.N. has condemned the new aid program, labeling the distribution efforts chaotic and ineffective, with dozens injured by gunfire as the situation spiraled into pandemonium at distribution centers. Senior officials have criticized the aid mechanism for failing to meet humanitarian expectations, while claims of mismanagement and lack of experience by the contractor overseeing distribution have raised alarms. As the chaos continues, Hamas has issued threats against civilians accepting assistance from the new aid framework, further complicating the already dire situation in Gaza.
