Videos circulated on social media show Gazans heading to the newly established aid distribution center near Rafah, part of the controversial new aid mechanism backed by Israel and the US.

The footage shows people making their way to the center and exiting it with boxes of food. Media reports note a high turnout for the aid distribution.

The newly opened aid center is operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Fund. It said yesterday that by the end of the week, aid would reach at last a million Palestinians, or roughly half of the enclave’s population.

An image posted on X shows that the aid boxes include bags of rice and dried beans, as well as flour, oil, salt, and some canned vegetables.
