The new aid system in Gaza suspended at least some activity for a second day on Thursday as Israel shifted operations amid chaos at distribution sites that has included deadly shootings. The shift has included empowering and arming rivals to Hamas to play a role in aid distribution,

A new program for getting desperately needed food into the hands of starving Palestinians in Gaza is only days old, but it’s already mired in chaos and tragedy. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed over the past few days while on their way to trying to obtain aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started distributing aid this week, but it was off to a rough start as desperate Palestinians scrambled to get food after weeks of delays. The group denies any reports of violence and says it will push forward with opening more distribution points in the strip.
