The article reports on the escalating crisis in Gaza, highlighting that over 55,104 Palestinians have died since the onset of Israeli bombardment 20 months ago. Chaos at distribution points run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), backed by the U.S. and Israel, has led to significant violence, with 224 deaths occurring at these sites alone. Despite permission for aid access only at GHF points, many have suffered casualties, provoking criticism from former humanitarian leaders. Anecdotes, such as that of Issam Wahdan, shed light on individual tragedies amidst systemic failures in the delivery of aid.
In total, 224 people have been killed at GHF's distribution centers since they began operating over the objections of the United Nations.
Issam Wahdan, a Palestinian man whose brother was killed when he tried to retrieve aid near the Netzarim Corridor this week, told Al Jazeera that he and his brother had attempted to obtain one of GHF's food boxes several times.
