One month into Gaza's new aid system - killings, gunfire and chaos are routine | BBC News

In the four weeks since the launch of a controversial US‑ and Israeli‑backed aid system in Gaza, there have been repeated incidents of killings and injuries of Palestinians seeking aid. According to the Hamas‑run Gaza health ministry, in the past month more than 500 people on their way to get aid have been killed and 4,000 injured. BBC Verify has analysed dozens of videos from across Gaza that offer an insight into what this aid system looked like on the ground, showing a near‑daily cycle of chaos, panic, live gunfire and dead or injured Palestinians. In statements over the past month, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have several times said they fired "warning shots" at individuals who they described as "suspects" or who posed a threat. One medical charity has criticized the US and Israeli‑backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as "slaughter masquerading as aid".
