Security breaks out as desperate people are looking for food

There is a state of chaos, a breakdown of security and robbery in the main city of North Gaza, where the Palestinians are desperately looking for food and where the help is difficult to access.

Hamas’s interior ministry said seven of his police officers were located in the city of Gaza on Thursday, were killed by Israeli air strike while trying to restore order and face what he calls “robbery”.

The Israeli military did not comment on the incident, but last day they hit “dozens of terrorist goals.”

Local medics and rescuers said at least 44 people were killed through the territory on Thursday, including 23 in the refugee camp in central Burege.

A day comes after the UN World Food Program (WFP) said at least two people had been shot, as what he described as “hungry people” has embarked on his warehouse in the central city of Deir al-Bala in search of food after 11 weeks from a common Israeli blockade. It was not clear who opened fire.

Almost 50 people were reported to have been shot and wounded when thousands had overcome a new center for the distribution of aid managed by the Gaza Humanities Foundation (GHF), supported by the US and Israel in the southern city of Rafa, according to a senior UN official in Gaza. The Israeli military said troops were launching warning shots in the air, but not in the crowds.

On Thursday, police officers of the interior ministry, armed with rifles and pistols in the style of Kalashnikov, went to the market near the central intersection of Al-Saraya in Gaza, which houses a number of small stalls selling canned and vegetables.

Videos spread on social media, too graphic to share, show organs, blood and scattered remains lying on the ground after what the ministry said it was an Israeli attack.

“The Israeli occupation aircraft is aimed at a number of police officers … While they are fulfilling their duties in the confrontation of a group of robbery earlier today, leading to the martyrdom of several officers and civilians in another slaughter,” a statement said.

The BBC has asked for a comment from the Israeli military. He did not turn directly to the incident in his reply, saying that he was not provided with “corresponding coordinates and the specific time.” He added that the IDF “follows international law and takes precautions to mitigate civil harm.”

In Gaza, there is lawlessness as Israel began to head to police officers at the Gaza Ministry, citing their role in Hamas’s management.

After the head of the police on the territory and his deputy were killed in a strike in January, the ministry insisted that the force was a “Civil Agency for Protection”. The Israeli military has accused the power of “violating human rights and the suppression of disagreement.”

There were reports of a breakdown of the order elsewhere in Gaza on Thursday, as desperate people were looking for food and other deliveries.

A witness who went to the GHF help center near Rafa told the BBC that thousands of people had gathered in the area from dawn and that they eventually break through the gate on the site to try to receive deliveries.

At 08:00 local time, the witness said, the Israeli military issued a warning through a drum with a quadcopter, which instructed people to head to the distribution center and that they began moving to the area.

“Exactly 10 minutes of things were organized, but then the crowd broke the gate and rushed into the yard.”

“People grabbed boxes and sacks with flour and left, all under the supervision of the Israeli quadcopter,” they added.

Shots from near the GHF website show thousands of Palestinians walking near the center on Thursday morning. Some of them are in horse carts, while others wheeze bicycles covered with goods.

Young men in their bigger part can be seen carrying sacks of flour on their heads and backs. It seems that an exhausted woman is struggling to walk in the crowd.

Abu Fauzi Faruh, a 60-year-old Palestinian man who was on the scene on Thursday morning, told AFP news agency that supplies for help are more difficult for the elderly and vulnerable to get.

“Young men are the ones who received help first, yesterday and today because they are young and can carry loads. But old people and women cannot enter because of the clump.”

“We are humiliated, the Palestinian people are humiliated,” he added.

People have described similar scenes on the newly opened GHF distribution site in central gas, with a number telling the BBC that they have diverged empty -handed.

Umm Mohammed Abu Hajar said she heard she had help in the area, so she took her ID and went to see what she could get.

“I found all the people hungry,” she said. “So I couldn’t get anything. I left this … empty -handed.”

She said more organization was needed to distribute the help “quite”, adding that “some people eat and some people do not” at the moment.

Another man, Hani Abed, who was in the same distribution center, said he had failed to receive help for him and his 10 family members.

“I came empty handed and left empty -handed,” he said. “I’ll take dirt so my children can eat.”

GHF said that approximately 17 280 food boxes containing the equivalent of 997,920 meals were distributed to Gazans at its three distribution sites on Thursday.

“The operations will continue to scathing, with plans to build additional sites in Gaza, including in the North region, in the coming weeks,” she added.

He also rejected messages about shot Palestinians as they tried to receive help in his centers. “The shots have never been fired,” the message said.

The new GHF assistance system bypasses the UN and requires Palestinians to collect food parcels from Distribution sites protected by US security contractors in areas controlled by Israeli military in southern and central gas.

The UN refused to cooperate with the system, saying that he was unethical and working.

The head of the UN Humanitarian Office Jonathan Whital said on Wednesday that GHF could not meet the needs of 2.1 million population and is essentially an engineering shortage. “

The US and Israeli governments have said the new system prevents the help of helping Hamas, which the armed group denies.

Israel imposed a total blockade of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies of Gaza on March 2 and resumed its military offensive two weeks later, ending a two-month termination of fire with Hamas.

It says that the steps put pressure on the armed group to release the 58 hostages who are still held in gas, at least 20 of which are thought to be alive.

On May 19, the Israeli military began an extended offensive, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “would” take control of all regions “of Gaza. The next day, he said that Israel would also temporarily ease the blockade and allow “basic” amount of food.

The families of the other hostages called on Netanyahu to agree to a new termination of fire with Hamas to ensure his release.

On Thursday, White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt said the Israeli government “supported” a new proposal to terminate the fire, which was sent to Hamas by US special prana Steve Vikof.

“Israel signed this proposal before being sent to Hamas,” she said.

Later, a senior Hamas employee told the BBC that the group rejected the proposal as it was contrary to the discussions he had with Witkoff.

The officer said it did not include guarantees that the temporary cessation of the fire would lead to a constant end of the fighting or that the Israeli troops would withdraw to the positions they held before March 2.

Israeli and US media cited Israeli officials that Vitcof’s proposal involves the release of 10 living hostages and the remains of dead hostages in two phases in exchange for a 60-day cessation of fire and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas’s cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were hostage.

At least 54,249 people have been killed in Gaza since then, including 3,986 since Israel resumed its offensive, according to the Ministry of Health on the territory.
