The embattled Israeli-backed aid group that began operating in Gaza earlier this week is not screening Palestinians at aid distribution sites, despite Israeli officials saying that additional security measures were a core reason for the creation of the new program.

Hundreds of Palestinians stormed a United Nations food warehouse in Gaza in a desperate attempt to get something to eat.

The Israeli military is again advancing into Gaza and has blocked most aid, causing widespread hunger. A new but widely criticized system for getting relief in started operating this week.

A U.S. and Israeli-backed humanitarian aid effort for Gaza says it's started distributing desperately needed food. The U.N. calls it a "distraction from what is actually needed."

A video from April 2024 showing humanitarian aid airdropped near a Gaza beach has been miscaptioned in online posts as footage of China delivering aid to Gaza in May amid an Israeli blockade that began in March.

A U.S.-backed group that is slated to take over aid distribution in Gaza says it's started operations despite opposition from the U.N. and the unexpected resignation of its executive director.

The United Nations says food being distributed by a new Israeli-backed system is “less than a drop in the ocean.”

The situation in Gaza is the worst since the war between Israel and Hamas militants began 19-months ago, the United Nations said on Friday, despite a resumption of limited aid deliveries in the Palestinian enclave where famine looms.
