At least 20 Palestinians lost their lives at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution center on Wednesday. The tragedy, attributed to a crowd surge purportedly incited by armed agitators, underscores the dire state of humanitarian aid in the region.

Eyewitnesses described a scene of chaos exacerbated by limited space and poor crowd management. The incident, one of many in recent weeks, raises critical questions about the safety and impartiality of aid distribution amidst the ongoing conflict.
