Overview
In Gaza, violence has escalated, with over 80 Palestinians killed near aid distribution sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The GHF paused operations after health officials reported dozens killed in shootings near the sites. The Israeli military claims it fired warning shots at 'suspects' approaching its forces, denying targeting civilians. Critics argue that the GHF's food distribution scheme, which began on May 26, is dangerous and ineffective, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The UN Security Council is set to vote on a ceasefire resolution, but the U.S. is expected to veto it, amid growing international outrage and calls for accountability.
