At least one civilian was killed and 48 wounded when Israeli troops opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians, after the group chosen by Israel to ship food into Gaza lost control of its distribution centre, health officials reported.

Witnesses said Israeli forces started shooting after crowds of Palestinians broke through the fences on Tuesday around the distribution site, as an Israeli military helicopter fired flares and bursts of gunfire were heard in the distance. In one video, a large crowd of panicked civilians, including women and children, can be seen running away from the distribution site, trampling the fencing.

2. When people are driven into desperation for food and water

in circumstances where violence and destruction is all around them it is totally predictable for this to happen.

4. Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says aid distribution to Gaza temporarily halted due to disorder

The U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced on Wednesday that aid distribution in Gaza had been temporarily halted due to disorder, stating that it was working to resolve.

Cant post link because it’s from live updates I get from Haaretz but it’s accurate. No reopening time as yet.

Gee - who’d a thunk this would happen???

5. But, but it's the evil jew-hating Guardian, aka Hitler's favourite Brit paper, so it's all lies!

Btw, The Daily Mail was Hitler's fav for ages.

High chance Hamas orchestrated it, given they dont like lose their unfettered access to all incoming aide.
