, guarded by armed private security contractors working for a US company, has set up only four “mega-sites” for Gaza’s population of about two million Palestinians.Three of GHF’s distribution sites are in Rafah, situated within areas where the Israeli military has issued evacuation warnings. The fourth site is in Gaza City, near the boundary with Deir el-Balah, where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians are sheltering. None of the distribution points are located north of the Netzarim Corridor.

The UN and aid groups say the GHF does not abide by humanitarian principles, accusing it of weaponising aid and warning that it could serve to depopulate northern Gaza, as planned by the Israeli military.Large crowds subjected to security checksAs word spread, large crowds descended on the site, lining up in front of metal fences topped with surveillance cameras.

Witnesses described a slow and tightly controlled entry process, with people funnelled through narrow fenced corridors that resembled cattle chutes.Once inside the distribution area, people were subjected to ID checks and eye scans to determine who was permitted to receive aid.

As crowds grew restless while waiting in the heat, people began pushing forward, eventually breaking through the fences.

Chaos erupts and shots are firedAl Jazeera’s Mike Hanna, reporting from Washington, DC, said the judges on the court had been appointed by various Democrat and Republican presidents.

The Court of International Trade handles matters relating to customs and trade law. Its rulings can be challenged in the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and eventually taken to the Supreme Court.Financial analyst Robert Scott told Al Jazeera the tariffs failed to deliver tangible results even in Trump’s first term. “Most of those tariffs did not see the US trade position improve,” he said. “US trade deficits continued to grow and China’s exports to the world kept rising. They simply rerouted goods through other countries.”
