Desperate Palestinians overrun controversial food distribution centre in Gaza | BBC News
Thousands of desperate Palestinians have overrun an aid distribution site in Gaza, which was set up by a controversial US and Israeli-backed group a day earlier.
Fences were torn down at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s (GHF) compound in the southern city of Rafah. The group said that at one point its team fell back because the numbers seeking aid were so great. The Israeli military said troops nearby fired warning shots.
The GHF employs armed American security contractors and intends to bypass the United Nations as the main supplier of aid in Gaza. Experts there have warned of a looming famine after an 11-week Israeli blockade that has been partially-eased in recent days.
The UN, which has decades of experience in providing aid in Gaza, said the videos from Rafah were “heartbreakingā. It says it has a detailed plan to deliver enough aid to the “desperate population” of 2.1 million, if Israel permits it.
The UN and many aid groups have refused to co-operate with GHF’s plans, which they say contradict humanitarian principles and appear to “weaponise aid”. They have warned that the system will practically exclude those with mobility issues, force further displacement, expose thousands of people to harm, make aid conditional on political and military aims, and set an unacceptable precedent for aid delivery around the world.
Israel has said an alternative to the current aid system is needed to stop Hamas stealing aid, which the militant group denies doing.

OpenAI has announced it will not release its latest AI model due to safety concerns.
Its GPT-6.1 Astra system, which performs tasks like browsing the web and using apps by itself, “didn’t quite meet the bar” of the company’s standards, according to Saachi Jain, head of safety systems at OpenAI.
It comes as breaches by major AI firms’ models intensify the debate about risks posed by the tech – with Anthropic underlining its concerns AI might threaten humanity as it prepares to go public.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is taking legal action against Thames Valley Police over his arrest in February.
The former Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, in the wake of information that emerged from the Epstein files in the United States.
Mountbatten-Windsor’s lawyers are challenging the search warrants used in Sandringham and at Royal Lodge in Windsor relating to his arrest, as first reported by the Telegraph.
Thames Valley Police confirmed: “We are engaged in legal proceedings in relation to warrants previously obtained from the Central Criminal Court.
“As these legal proceedings are currently ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.ā

The French government has suspended the use of stun grenades by police in school protests, as it appeals to students to go back to the classroom.
Interior Minister Laurent Nunez has temporarily halted the use of the grenades after a 15-year-old’s hand was blown off by a grenade fired by riot police near a school in Northern France. An investigation into the event has been launched.
Wider allegations have been made of excessive use of force by police in dealing with the protests which began at the start of October.
More schools reopened on Wednesday, although some remained blockaded, after an estimated 250,000 people took to the streets demonstrating over school conditions on Tuesday.
