Foreseeable flaws in Gaza aid project led to shooting of Palestinians
JERUSALEM — The repeated fatal shootings of Palestinians seeking food at distribution centers in Gaza since late May are an outcome of the aid project's flawed design, which drew enormous crowds and brought them in proximity to Israeli troops, who opened fire on multiple occasions, according to experts in humanitarian aid programs, witness testimony and visual evidence.

Gazans Lining Up for Food Say Supplies Remain Limited
TEL AVIV—A new aid system backed by Israel delivered more food in Gaza on Wednesday, but residents who lined up outside the distribution centers complained of limited supplies and disorder, one day after the effort was marred by scenes of chaos and looting. Thousands of Palestinians desperate for food lined up outside two distribution centers in southern Gaza on Wednesday, despite concerns over security. Large crowds had overwhelmed one of the centers a day earlier and Israeli forces said they fired warning shots outside the compound. As the number of people surged after a slow start, witnesses said there was disorder and crowding as they heard about food running out.
