Israel's Diaspora Affairs Ministry has sponsored Israeli and American social media influencers to visit and film aid distribution sites in Gaza, which are operated by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF). This initiative comes amid a continuing ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza, where over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since May. The influencers' visits are part of a campaign to counter narratives accusing Israel of causing starvation in Gaza, where famine has been officially declared. Meanwhile, reports indicate ongoing violence in Gaza, including Israeli military actions resulting in casualties among Palestinians. At least four Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire while seeking aid in southern Gaza, according to the Associated Press and medical sources at Al-Awda Hospital. Israeli warplanes have also conducted airstrikes on multiple locations in Gaza City, including the Al-Sabra neighborhood and areas near the Al-Shafei Mosque in Al-Zaytoun, as well as in Khan Younis and Al-Rizqa. These events highlight the continued humanitarian crisis and military conflict in Gaza amid restricted media access.
