1. From the AP article:

   >Hundreds of Palestinians [stormed a United Nations food warehouse](https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-latest-05-28-2025-93f85e19b6fad64c13c4f0c2e5c8d594) Wednesday [in Gaza](https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war) in a desperate attempt to get something to eat, shouting and shoving each other and ripping off pieces of the building to get inside. Two people were fatally crushed in the crowd, while two others died of gunshot wounds, officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said.

   >Scores of aid-seekers could be seen carrying large bags of flour as they fought their way back out into the sunlight through throngs of people pressing to get inside. Each bag of flour weighs around 25 kilograms.

   >The deaths came a day after a crowd was fired upon while [overrunning a new aid-distribution site](https://apnews.com/article/gaza-israel-palestinians-aid-gunfire-88e825b923fe9d8420fba03739c7a5ac)[in Gaza](https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war) set up by an Israeli and U.S.-backed foundation, killing at least one Palestinian and wounding 48 others, Gaza’s Health Ministry said.

   >The Israeli military, which guards the site from a distance, said it fired only warning shots to control the situation. The foundation said its military contractors guarding the site did not open fire. A Red Cross field hospital said the 48 people wounded suffered gunshot wounds, including women and children.

2. Nice to see CNN actually call them starving. I was reading either the Times of Israel or JPost and they described them a ‘food seekers’. Unbelievable.
