Desperate scenes unfolded in Gaza as aid distribution points turned into deadly zones, with hundreds of civilians reportedly killed while attempting to secure food supplies. Witnesses describe chaotic stampedes and violent clashes as starving families fought for survival.
'Death Traps' for the Desperate
Humanitarian organisations are sounding alarms over what they're calling 'organised starvation' tactics, with aid distribution points becoming increasingly dangerous. "These aren't humanitarian corridors - they're death traps," one aid worker reported anonymously.
The Human Cost
Eyewitness accounts paint a grim picture:
- Parents shielding children from gunfire while queuing for flour
- Elderly people trampled in the rush for canned goods
- Medical teams overwhelmed by casualties from aid-related violence
The death toll continues to rise as international observers struggle to document the full scale of the tragedy.
International Response
World leaders have expressed outrage, with calls for immediate ceasefire and safe humanitarian access growing louder. However, diplomatic efforts remain stalled as the conflict enters its tenth month.
UN officials warn that Gaza's entire population now faces acute food insecurity, with children particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and starvation-related diseases.
