Reuters reports that the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which Israeli authorities are using to bypass the traditional aid groups operating inside the Palestinian territories, said it distributed 21 truckloads of food early Tuesday.
In its statement about troops opening fire on people near an aid distribution point in southern Gaza, Israel’s military has claimed “IDF troops are not preventing the arrival of Gazan civilians to the humanitarian aid distribution sites. The warning shots were fired approximately half a kilometer away from the humanitarian aid distribution site toward several suspects who advanced toward the troops in such a way that posed a threat to them.”
