00:18operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, GHF, where thousands of Palestinians searched

00:25the facility in desperate need of food. The Gaza Health Ministry reports that at least

00:30one person was killed and 48 others were injured, primarily by gunfire. The Israeli military claims

00:38it fired warning shots to control the crowd. UN Human Rights Office head Ajith Sunghae confirmed

00:44that most injuries were due to Israeli gunfire. Yomarwa Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini
