A parachuted aid pallet struck and killed a 15-year-old boy on August 9 while he tried to collect humanitarian supplies in Nuseirat, central Gaza. Muhannad Eid was rushing towards aid pallets as they were being air-dropped when one of them crushed him, Eid's brother said. U.N. agencies say airdrops are insufficient and that Israel must let in far more aid by land and open up access to the territory to prevent starvation among its 2.2 million people, most of whom are displaced amidst vast swathes of rubble. The United Nations says more than 1,000 people have been killed trying to receive aid in the enclave since the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began operating in May 2025, most of them shot by Israeli forces operating near GHF sites. Israel denies having a policy of starvation in Gaza, and says Hamas, which killed some 1,200 people in its October 7, 2023, attack and took 251 hostages back to Gaza, could end the crisis by surrendering. #gaza #aid #palestinian #food #israel #war

The University of California said on Aug. 8 that it was reviewing a $1 billion settlement offer by President Donald Trump's administration for UCLA after the government froze hundreds of millions of dollars in funding over pro-Palestinian protests. A U.S. judge denied the Justice Department's bid to unseal records from the grand jury that indicted the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's partner Ghislaine Maxwell on sex-trafficking charges, writing that the records did not answer lingering questions from the public about their crimes or Epstein's death.
