In a tragic escalation of violence in Gaza, numerous aid distribution centers have temporarily closed following a series of deadly shootings that have left at least 30 Palestinians dead while seeking food assistance. US- and Israeli-backed aid groups have halted operations, citing the dangerous conditions. Witnesses report that Israeli troops fired upon crowds waiting for aid, prompting international calls for investigations into the fatalities. The UN has condemned the attacks and discussed ceasefire demands as the situation deteriorates further under a purported humanitarian blockade. As the aid mechanisms unravel, questions arise about accountability and the exploitation of humanitarian efforts amidst ongoing conflict.
