STORYLINE:
Palestinians described more scenes of chaos on Thursday at an aid distribution hub in Gaza established by a new Israeli and U.S.-backed foundation as security contractors struggled to control the crowd.
People scattered as gunfire rang out, although it was not clear who fired or if there were any casualties.
Experts say a nearly three-month Israeli blockade — slightly eased in recent days — has pushed the population of roughly 2 million Palestinians to the brink of famine.
The hubs set up by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are guarded by private security contractors, with Israeli forces stationed nearby.
The U.N. and other humanitarian organizations have rejected the new aid system, saying it will not be able to feed Gaza’s 2.3 million people and that it lets Israel use food to control the population.
The GHF said four distribution centres are open in the enclave, including one in central Gaza.
One woman said she had waited for hours before leaving with only a small bag of lentils.
“We have no bread to feed our children. I couldn’t get a single bag of flour,” she said in tears, declining to give her name.
“I want to eat. I’m hungry," she added.
