Israeli soldiers fired live ammo in a bid to maintain control at the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation facility.

The Israeli army, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has pursued a devastating offensive in Gaza since October 2023, killing over 54,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Aid agencies have warned about the risk of famine among the enclave's more than 2 million population.

Chaos has erupted on the second day of aid operations by a new U.S.-backed group in Gaza. Palestinians overwhelmed a center distributing food on Tuesday, breaking through fences.

Palestinians living in Gaza "deserve more than survival," the United Nations envoy for the Middle East told the Security Council on Wednesday to (May 28), as Israel's war there enters its 600th day.

The Palestinian ambassador to the UN made an emotional address, saying more than 1,300 children have been killed in Gaza since Israel ended the ceasefire in March.

With Israel's war in Gaza now stretching into its 600th day, UN envoy Sigrid Kaag urges the international community to recognise the dire humanitarian crisis, stating that Palestinians 'deserve more than survival' as aid struggles to reach those in need.
