Humanitarian groups had warned for weeks that having people collect aid in areas with a military presence would expose them to violence.“This was a ludicrous and ineffective distribution mechanism that was going to end up deadly, which is, tragically, exactly what we are seeing,” said Arwa Damon, founder of the International Network for Aid, Relief and Assistance.

The existing U.N.-run system operates differently, with workers taking aid to Palestinians wherever they are.“It is appalling that the humanitarian sector that knows how to do their job is being prevented from doing it because of the false narrative that Hamas controls the aid,” Damon said.Deadly encounters around aid distribution aren’t entirely new.

More than 100 people were killed, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which is led by medical professionals but reports to the Hamas-run government.After investigating the incident, Israel said its troops fired on a “number of suspects” who ignored warning shots and advanced toward its forces. It said a stampede around the trucks caused “significant harm to civilians.” EU and U.N. officials at the time said most of the casualties were from Israeli fire.

Boxes of food are left piled up on pallets in an area surrounded by fences and earth berms. Once the sites’ gates are opened, the crowds rush in, with everyone grabbing what they can. Witnesses say some people take multiple boxes, which quickly run out, and that many leave empty-handed.El alemán es el idioma más hablado después del inglés y el español en ocho estados: Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Montana, Dakota del Norte, Carolina del Sur y Wyoming.
