That's right. Humanitarian efforts in Gaza are faced by immense challenges as crowds overwhelmed a food aid center and warehouse.

Despite scenes of chaos and conflicting casualty claims, aid distribution by the U.S.-and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation resumed for a second day on Wednesday.

The GHF delivered emergency food supplies in southern Gaza, distributing over 14,000 aid boxes across two sites.

One of them reopened after delays caused by crowd surges and prior looting.

Al Jazeera cited at least nine deaths over two days, while Gaza's health ministry reported one fatality and 48 injured on the first day alone.

Meanwhile, World Food Program confirmed that crowds stormed one of its warehouses in central Gaza, leading to two deaths.

The GHF plans to continue distributions on Thursday, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirming support for the mission.
