At least 20 people were killed in a crush at a US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution site in southern Gaza. The incident occurred amid chaotic conditions and conflicting accounts of what happened, with the GHF blaming Hamas-affiliated individuals for fomenting unrest and the Hamas-run Government Media Office accusing the GHF of trying to cover up a crime. The UN has expressed concern over the severe shortage of humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the high level of chaos at aid distribution points.

The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has delivered over 76 million meals to Palestinians in Gaza, bypassing Hamas control. The GHF's efforts have been criticized by the United Nations and other aid organizations, who accuse the group of violence against Palestinians seeking aid. However, experts say that Hamas is losing its grip on Gaza as the GHF's aid distribution undermines the terrorist organization's control over the population.

Israel has declined to renew the visa for Jonathan Whittall, the local head of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories. This decision is seen as part of a pattern of retaliation by Israel against U.N. officials who criticize its conduct in the Gaza war and towards Palestinians. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs monitors, coordinates aid, and advocates for international humanitarian law in Gaza and the West Bank.
