Gaza aid site offered a 'women only' day. It didn't stop the killing
The food distribution was announced in advance, like many before it, in a post on social media carrying an illustration of smiling Palestinians receiving boxes of time, however, the invitation shared by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was different, featuring illustrations of only women. "Tomorrow at our morning distribution at our location in the Saudi district, only women are welcome to come and receive a food box," the GHF post said. "Men should avoid the site during this distribution."Mary Sheikh al-Eid wanted to feed her seven children. Her husband had been killed earlier in the war and the family had been surviving on lentil soup for three weeks, said Mary's sister Khawla, but the last week had been a struggle."Her children and mine told us not to go," Khawla told the BBC. "Mary told me she wanted to because it was a day for women and the numbers wouldn't be big." GHF's food aid distribution system has been marred by near-daily scenes of chaos and killing since it was implemented in May with Israeli and US crowds are forced to walk long distances into Israeli military zones, entering fenced sites that are surrounded by private security contractors and Israeli troops. Palestinian men mostly take on the risk, jostling to secure a box of food for their Gaza's two million people, there are just four GHF distribution sites but typically no more than two open on any given Thursday, the sisters Mary and Khawla set off early for the aid point in the southern Rafah area. By the time they arrived, the scene was already chaos."There was a huge crowd of women and the place seemed out of control, they couldn't offload and distribute the aid," Khawla said. "They started spraying the women with pepper spray, then they brought stun grenades and started throwing them on the women to force them backwards."The sisters got split up in the mayhem. Khawla's clothes were full of pepper spray and so she called her sister, agreeing to meet at their brother's house. Shortly after she called again, feeling something wasn't right."This time a stranger picked up, he told me the owner of the phone was shot and was being taken to the Red Cross [field hospital]," said Khawla."I called again and this time I was told she was shot in the head. I ran like crazy and called again, but this time I was told the owner of this phone had been killed." Since the GHF aid system was established in late May, the UN says over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military while trying to get aid mostly near GHF distribution sites, as well as near UN and other aid Friday, one former US soldier who worked with the GHF said he had witnessed Israeli troops and security contractors firing on Aguilar told the BBC he had never seen such a level of "brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population".Israel has previously said that its troops have fired "warning shots", and that it was implementing "lessons learned". It accuses Hamas of instigating chaos near the aid points and disputes the number of deaths reported. Medics at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said After Mary Sheikh al-Eid died from a bullet injury to the neck. She is one of two women known to have been killed on Thursday's "women's day".The BBC also spoke to the family of the second woman who was killed, Khadija Abu sister, Samah, who was with her said that they were travelling to a GHF aid site when an Israeli tank and troops a distance of just metres, the troops first fired warning shots as they told them to move back, Samah said on Friday."We started walking back and then she was hit by the bullet," Samah said. "They shot her in the neck and she died immediately.""I tried to carry her and her blood fell on me, a man helped me carry her to Nasser hospital. The aid point was opened right after they shot her and they let people go in."In response to the BBC, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had "identified suspects who approached them, posing a threat to the troops" and "fired warning shots" early on Thursday, but added that it was unaware of casualties. It said the shots were fired 'hundreds of meters away' from the distribution site, before its opening hours. Until May, UN agencies, other international organisations and charities provided most of the aid to Gaza's population at 400 distribution sites throughout the introduction of the GHF has been criticised by many in the aid community as an attempt to undermine the previous humanitarian system and increase Israeli control over the distribution of food in Gaza, forcing people into dangerous military locations. The UN refuses to cooperate with the GHF system calling it recent days, Israel's control over food deliveries to Gaza has been widely condemned by many European governments and the aid groups. Israel says that it introduced the GHF system because Hamas was previously diverting and profiting from aid under the United Nations-led system, though it hasn't provided evidence to show this happening on a systematic basis. Daily reports of death from malnutrition are gathering pace in Gaza. Humanitarian officials say that the territory must be flooded with aid in order to avert a total international law, Israel as the military power occupying Gaza has an obligation to protect civilian life - ensuring people can find food to survive. However Israel has blamed Hamas and aid agencies for the current shortages, while continuing to support the GHF distribution model."I pray to God they get shut down, they are death traps," says Mary's sister Khawla. "She went to get food for her children but she returned by people carrying her body."Additional reporting by the BBC's freelance Gaza team and BBC Verify's Mohamed Shalaby

All's well that ends well! Jackson the labrador is saved from 18ft-deep hole by firefighters
A lucky Labrador was pulled to safety by hero firefighters after he fell 18 feet into a deep well. Jackson, 11, was found desperately swimming to stay afloat when fire crews from three stations raced to the scene in Middlezoy, near Bridgwater, Somerset, last Sunday morning. The exhausted dog had fallen into the water-filled shaft and was rapidly tiring when firefighters began pumping water out of the well to give him a fighting chance. Jackson was rapidly tiring from having to swim for his life when rescuers finally reached him. Fire crews from three stations rushed to help after the pooch plunged into the hole. He had to tread water while the fire teams pumped out water. Officers eventually lifted him out with ropes before reuniting him with his lifelong owners. A Taunton Fire Station spokesperson said: 'Jackson had been treading water for some time and was becoming tired. 'Firefighter Brown volunteered to enter the well and rescue Jackson. 'Crews acted swiftly and safely to reunite the 11-year-old Labrador with his owners. 'Using a mini ejector pump, gas monitor, battery-operated fan and rope rescue equipment. 'The family who have owned Jackson since he was seven weeks old, were very grateful to all involved.' Jackson's owner, Aymee Smith, thanked Taunton, Bridgwater and Street firefighters for rescuing her dog. She said: 'Massive thank you again, you were all amazing. He's had a hell of a day. He's spent the whole afternoon sleeping. I'm just thankful he's okay.'
