UK-Med: 'Gaza not comparable to other war zones, the need is so high'

Hundreds of Palestinians stormed a United Nations food warehouse Wednesday in Gaza in a desperate attempt to get something to eat, shouting and shoving each other and even ripping off pieces of the building to get inside. Four people died in the chaos, hospital officials said. The deaths came a day after a crowd was fired upon while overrunning a new aid-distribution site in the Gaza Strip set up by an Israeli and US-backed foundation, killing at least one Palestinian and wounding dozens. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24’s Oliver Farry welcomes Jay Matthews, Humanitarian Aid Worker and Operating Department Practitioner in Gaza with British humanitarian charity UK-Med.
