U.N.: Israel Has Killed 800 Palestinians Seeking Aid in Gaza, Many at U.S. “Aid” Operation GHF

HeadlineJul 11, 2025

In Gaza, the U.N. human rights office said it’s documented the killing of nearly 800 Palestinians seeking aid by Israeli forces. Most of those have been at aid points run by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, GHF. The GHF announced it will now only operate one aid distribution site in Rafah, after shuttering hundreds of others across the strip, many of them U.N. aid sites, forcing Palestinians in desperate need of aid to move south. Aid groups say over 2 million Palestinians are now crammed into less than 15% of the Gaza Strip’s total area.
