Several dozen people tried to storm a truck carrying aid at the Rafah border crossing in the southern Gaza Strip. Police intervened and dispersed the crowd, the local authority controlled by the Islamist Hamas said on Friday.
Shots are heard and video shows black smoke. Eyewitnesses reported that Hamas police fired into the crowd and killed a youth. The authority initially did not want to confirm this.
People live in tent camps in very small spaces
In Rafah, right on the Egyptian border, 1.3 million people are crowded into a very small space. Most of them have fled other parts of the Gaza Strip to seek protection from the war. They live in large tent camps or on the streets. Aid organizations can hardly guarantee the provision of the necessary necessities of life.
The aid deliveries arrive via the border crossing with Egypt in the closed coastal area, after Israel checks them. The Gaza War was sparked by the unprecedented massacre wrought on October 7 by terrorists from Hamas and other extremist Palestinian organizations in Israel, near the border with the Gaza Strip.
