VARIOUS OF PALESTINIANS SPEAKING TO REPORTER (Arabic) 3. VARIOUS OF PEOPLE RETURNING FROM AID DISTRIBUTION CENTER CARRYING AID PARCELS 4. PALESTINIAN MAN SPEAKING TO REPORTER (Arabic)GAZA, PALESTINE - MAY 28, 2025: Crowds of Palestinian civilians gathered at a US-backed aid distribution facility, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, in the southern city of Rafah on Wednesday, May 28. At least 47 people were injured, most of them by gunfire from Israeli forces, when large crowds surged toward a newly opened aid distribution center in Gaza, a UN human rights official said Wednesday. Ajith Sunghay, the head of the UN human rights office in the occupied Palestinian territories, told an Association of Accredited Correspondents at the United Nations (ACANU) media briefing in Geneva that "most of those injured are due to gunshots," and those injuries were "caused due to shooting by the IDF (Israeli army)." On Tuesday, starving Gazans stormed the US-backed aid distribution facility, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, in Rafah, local authorities said. "The Israeli occupation’s plan for aid distribution in the so-called buffer zone has failed disastrously," Gaza's government media office said in a statement. It said Israeli forces opened fire after thousands of starving Palestinians rushed into the aid distribution facility. The Israeli military meanwhile said it has established four humanitarian aid distribution centers in Gaza, claiming they are run by international aid organizations under the protection of an unnamed US civilian security firm operating in the enclave. The centers were established in recent weeks and “are operated by international aid organizations and secured by an American civilian security company in the Gaza Strip.” The military did not name the aid organizations involved in the operation. Israel has kept Gaza crossings closed to food, medical, and humanitarian aid since March 2, deepening an already severe humanitarian crisis in the enclave, according to government, human rights, and international reports. The Israeli army, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing over 54,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for 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.
