The Battle Belongs to the LORD. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but the Battle Belongs to the LORD. Proverbs 21:30-31

Videos Show Chaos Around Israeli-Backed Gaza Food Sites

A new Israeli-backed food distribution system in Gaza has repeatedly turned deadly in its first week of operation.

Near one aid site, almost 50 people were killed in two large-scale shootings within the space of just three days, according to health officials in Gaza. In both cases, the Israeli military said its soldiers had opened fire nearby.

While very few videos captured the violence itself, an analysis of videos and satellite imagery by The New York Times showed the chaos that preceded as desperate Gazans sought aid.

In one video, taken at the crack of dawn as one site opened, Palestinians can be seen racing for food boxes before they run out. The video was shared by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the Israeli-backed aid organization that runs the site.

Israel restricts international journalists from reporting in Gaza except on some military embeds, and videos from the new distribution sites are limited.

Dozens were killed near this aid site
