The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said the volume of people seeking aid at its distribution site was so great at one point its team had to pull back to allow people to "take aid safely and dissipate" and to avoid casualties.

It also said that "Gazans experienced several hour delays in accessing the site due to blockades imposed by Hamas".

The foundation said it has so far distributed about 8,000 food boxes, totalling 462,000 meals.

It later added that control had been gained of the situation and food distribution has been resumed.

It comes after Israel turned on British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer by accusing him of “emboldening Hamas” after the UK demanded an end to their military offensive in Gaza and restrictions to aid last week.

Benjamin Netanyahu took aim at the Prime Minister along with Canada and France saying they were on the side of “mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers”.

The allies said earlier this week that they will take “concrete actions” unless Netanyahu changes course and saying Israel was risking breaking international law.
