The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has condemned the new United States-backed aid model in Gaza, saying it is a “distraction from atrocities” taking place there, as a second day of chaotic, deadly scenes unfolded as desperate Palestinians tried to access aid.
Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Wednesday that 10 Palestinians have been killed and 62 injured in the last two days while trying to reach an aid distribution point west of Rafah in the south of the besieged enclave under the US and Israeli mechanism.
