Israeli forces open fire on Palestinians near US-backed GHF aid distribution site

Since May 27, the Israeli occupation has implemented what it describes as a "humanitarian aid distribution plan" in Gaza through the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Relief Foundation, a body backed by "Israel" and the United States, rejected by the United Nations, and operating without oversight from international humanitarian organizations. Aid distribution under this mechanism is being carried out in "buffer zones" in southern Gaza, positioned far from the besieged and famine-stricken northern areas. According to the Government Media Office, 49 Palestinians have been martyred and more than 305 have been injured so far at aid distribution points in Rafah and near the Wadi Gaza Bridge.
