Displaced Palestinians have once again faced intimidation and attacks as they gathered to receive aid from a U.S.-backed distribution site in Rafah of the southern Gaza Strip. Prior to the incident, the American Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) stated on its Facebook account on Thursday that they will launch an aid distribution event exclusively for women. It's the first initiative of its kind since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. However, the aid-seekers were hit by pepper spray, tear gas, and stun grenades when they arrived. Almost one in three people in the Gaza Strip are going for days without eating, the World Food Programme (WFP) said in a statement, adding that "malnutrition is surging with 90,000 women and children in urgent need of treatment". Shotlist: Rafah, Gaza Strip - July 25, 2025: 1. Various of displaced Palestinians with belongings walking; 2. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Um Mohammed, displaced Palestinian: "I just want food. How can I take my medication without eating? This is unjust. We can't afford to buy anything because we have no income, we don't even have a single coin."; 3. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abeer Dabboos, displaced Palestinian: "I came here at 6:00 without even having breakfast, hoping to get something for my children. My husband has been imprisoned for a year and a half. I have been supporting seven people and my children are suffering from malnutrition. I was hoping to get even just a kilo of lentils or flour. It was extremely crowded, and they sprayed us with pepper spray. This is humiliation. It's a disgrace."; 4. Various of displaced Palestinians walking, riding donkey cart; 5. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Nada Al-Mujaida, displaced Palestinian: "When we arrived, they threw tear gas and stun grenades at us. We were choking. The organizers pushed us out and told us to leave. They stopped the aid distribution and fired at us. We had to flee."; 6. Various of displaced Palestinians walking, riding donkey cart. [Restriction - No access Chinese mainland]
