Yeah, so from what our understanding, the centers are actually open for very limited hours. And Gazans are claiming that the supplies runs out quite fast. So, you know, there are boxes, but there's no screening. So what happens is, you know, each person comes and it's not necessarily a situation where, you know, you get a full box or you even get a box.
So what's been happening is that Gazans have been waking up really early. We spoke to someone who even went at midnight to try to go camp out there. People are desperate because sometimes people leave empty-handed. They wait and it's chaotic and they don't get anything.
On Sunday, we had an incident where basically, you know, large, large crowds were making their way again to the one distribution center that's open in Rafah. And what happened is a lot of people, you know, made their way early.
And about what the Israeli military says is a kilometer away from the distribution center, the Israeli military fired warning shots at the crowd who, you know, posed a threat to the troops, they say. And... You know, we don't know exactly what happened.
We spoke to several witnesses, but we do know from Palestinian health officials and medics that, you know, there were injured people, there were killed people over 20.
This time we had very large crowds again making their way to the one open distribution center, which was set to open at 5 a.m. So GHF on its social media said to Gazans, don't come before. It's not allowed. Come on the designated routes. But, you know, we spoke to Gazans who said that one person had camped out, you know, came starting at midnight.
Other people came at 2.30 a.m., you know, just trying to get food. And around the same area, about half a kilometer away, From the distribution center, according to the military, the military said that it fired warning shots again at, you know, crowds that were getting too close. And then when they didn't listen, it continued to fire and they deviated, it said, from the designated routes.
So now we're just seeing a really dangerous situation where this has happened several days in a row. The Israeli military also says it's important to note that, you know, it claims that Palestinian gunmen have also been opening fire.
So the first person we spoke to was Mohamed Nahal. He's 44, and he's from Khan Yunis. And he left his tent at 2.30 a.m. And he went with his cousin, Mahmoud. And basically, they started, you know, going early. And they were waiting for 5 a.m. when the center would open.
But then about, you know, 100 meters from a roundabout called Al-Alam Roundabout, they said that they suddenly got fired upon from all directions. He saw dead people around him, including his cousin, who was shot, and he says was killed. The second person that we spoke to was Ayman al-Gharib from Rafah, and he's living in a tent with his three children, 42.
He actually left at midnight. As early as midnight, he said he wanted to secure a spot in line early because, you know, once the site opens, the crowds rush, and, you know, there's no proper system. He said his kids are hungry and want aid.
And then basically he said that they began to be fired at around 3 a.m. And, you know, it was coming from all directions.
Yeah. And he also saw a person next to him, we said, was killed. And yeah, that is what we have from Ayman.
So Ayman said that he did not deviate from the routes and that they didn't pose a danger. So that's what I know. Generally, I just, you know, it's just been very confusing.
GHF in general has presented the whole endeavor, the whole kind of launch of the aid plan as a success. It's talked about how many boxes it's been able to deliver. They count by meals during the past week. And they have also said that no shooting has taken place at their distribution sites, which to our understanding is true. To our understanding, the shooting has actually taken place
near the distribution sites where GHF says that it's not responsible for securing that area. We know that from witnesses that the Americans who are kind of securing the actual compound itself have used at times riot prevention methods like, you know, smoke grenades, things like that, but no deaths or injuries.
I think in general, a lot of people we spoke to have said that, you know, the system is unfair. So there's no, you know, people can take, you can take as many, like, it's kind of whoever can grab the box faster. So there's no checks on who's taking. Maybe you come every day for several boxes and maybe, you know, one person just isn't able to get any.
I've talked to some people who are too scared to go because they think it's too dangerous. I mean, obviously, I think people are very happy to be getting food because, you know, it's a desperate situation.
I don't think it's looking very good. People are trying to survive. It's just a really low moment right now. I think people are happy that aid is coming in, but it's just been such chaos this past week. And I'm sure they're hoping for better, but I think they really want to cease fire. And we're not, it's not clear that we're, that's going to happen immediately.
That's a really good question. We have a pathway to the end to the war. That's what I would say. We have some sort of kind of ladder to pull us out of all of the mud that we're in at the moment, but we need to see if the players will decide to go through with it.
