"Thousands of people headed toward the distribution site hours before dawn. As they approached the site, #Israeli forces ordered them to disperse and come back later, witnesses said. When the crowds reached the Flag Roundabout, about 1km away, at about 3am, Israeli forces opened fire, the witnesses said."

A family digs through trash for bits of food, showing Gaza’s growing desperation
from #AssociatedPress #AP #APNews
By WAFAA SHURAFA and SAMY MAGDY
Updated 2:07 AM EDT, May 27, 2025
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — With flies buzzing all around them, the woman and her daughter picked through the pile of garbage bags for scraps of food at the foot of a destroyed building in #Gaza City. She found a small pile of cooked rice, a few scraps of bread, a box with some smears of white cheese still inside.
Islam Abu Taeima picked soggy bits from a piece of bread and put the dry part in her sack. She will take what she found back to the school where she and hundreds of other families live, boil it and serve it to her five children, she said.

Four people killed after starving #Palestinians burst into #UN food warehouse in Gaza
Deaths from crushing and gunshot wounds come a day after #Israeli forces opened fire at a food distribution point
Lorenzo Tondo in Jerusalem and Manisha Ganguly
Wed 28 May 2025 16.44 EDT
“Hordes of hungry people broke into WFP’s al-Ghafari warehouse in Deir al-Balah, central #Gaza, in search of food supplies that were pre-positioned for distribution,” #WFP said in a statement, which warned of “alarming and deteriorating conditions on the ground”.
“Humanitarian needs have spiralled out of control after 80 days of complete blockade of all food assistance and other aid into Gaza,” the statement said. “Gaza needs an immediate scale-up of food assistance. This is the only way to reassure people that they will not starve.”

Far-right marchers attack Palestinians as #Israel marks taking of Jerusalem
Israeli opposition leaders condemned attacks on #Palestinians as "racist" and a disgrace to #Judaism.
from #BBC
May 26, 2025
"Thousands of nationalist Israelis descended to Damascus Gate, one of the main entrances. Right-wing activists held banners that read "67 - #Jerusalem in our hands; 2025 - #Gaza in our hands".
Arab traders in the Muslim Quarter who had yet to close their shops were harassed by young #Israeli men, witnesses said.
Chants of "May your village burn" and "Your home will be ours" were heard throughout the march. "
