Starving Palestinians Raid Gaza Food Warehouse, Two Killed

On Wednesday, a desperate crowd forced its way into the UN World Food Programme’s Al-Ghafari warehouse in Deir al-Balah. Eyewitnesses say hundreds of people rushed inside to grab food stored for distribution. The WFP confirmed that at least two people died and several more were hurt, though the exact cause of those casualties is still under review.

Aid Blockade Pushes Gaza Toward Famine

An 11-week Israeli blockade has all but halted humanitarian aid into Gaza’s 2 million residents. The WFP warns that without a massive increase in food deliveries, famine is looming. “We’ve repeatedly sounded the alarm on these worsening conditions,” the agency said, urging an immediate scale-up of relief convoys.

More Chaos at Aid Distribution Site

Just a day earlier, thousands of Palestinians swarmed a US-backed aid point in Tel al-Sultan run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Videos show crowds tearing down fences as gunfire rang out. Local health officials reported one person shot dead and 48 wounded before operations briefly paused.

Civilians Caught Between War and Hunger

Residents describe living under constant threat—either from Israeli strikes or starvation. “Six hundred days have felt like six hundred years,” said one man in Deir al-Balah. Another called on Western governments to pressure Israel to lift the blockade and broker a ceasefire.

International Calls Grow Louder

UN officials and activists around the world have decried the crisis. Paris’s Fountain of Innocents was dyed red to demand action from global leaders. Meanwhile, Israel plans to seize 75% of Gaza, a move critics warn will squeeze civilians into an ever-smaller area.

With hunger killing as rapidly as conflict, aid groups say there is no time to waste: Gaza needs lifelines now or risk a full-scale humanitarian collapse.
