Gaza's humanitarian aid distribution centers, operated by GHF, have been labeled "death traps" by the Palestinian Health Ministry, reporting 583 deaths since late May. Daily incidents of Israeli military fire on aid recipients are alleged, claims denied by Israel, which maintains GHF bypasses Hamas. The UN condemned the system's safety. Israel plans improvements to access, while blaming Hamas for attacks. Netanyahu's upcoming US visit with Trump adds pressure for a Gaza ceasefire, with Trump urging a deal involving hostage release.
