In Gaza City, chaos has erupted due to food shortages and a breakdown of security, with reports of looting and violence as desperate residents search for aid. An Israeli airstrike killed seven Hamas police officers attempting to restore order amidst increasing lawlessness, while at least 44 people died across the territory, including during a clash at a UN food warehouse. Witnesses described scenes of thousands rushing aid distribution centers, leading to further desperation as many returned empty-handed after being unable to access supplies amid overwhelming crowds.
