SHOTLIST: RAFAH, PALESTINE (MAY 27, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF PALESTINIANS RETURNING FROM AID DISTRIBUTION POINT / PALESTINIANS CARRYING AID BOXES / PALESTINIANS WALKINGRAFAH, PALESTINE - MAY 27, 2025: Thousands of Palestinians on Tuesday (May 27) caused a stampede at the aid distribution point controlled by the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" in the southern Gaza Strip. According to reports in the local media, thousands of Palestinians flocked to the distribution center to receive aid. It was also reported that shots were fired into the air to disperse the crowd of Palestinians who had gathered to obtain assistance. Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive in Gaza since October 2023, killing nearly 54,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels, with most of the population suffering from high levels of food insecurity. Only a small amount of aid has been allowed to cross into the enclave after over a two-month blockade imposed in early March. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war crimes against defenseless civilians in the enclave. Western countries have been accused of inaction despite the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory. Recently, some leaders appeared to have moved beyond condemnations, threatening sanctions and review of agreements with Israel if the situation does not improve.
