There’s been another shooting near a US and Israeli-backed aid distribution centre in southern Gaza. The Hamas-run civil defence agency said 6 Palestinians were killed and several wounded by Israeli gunfire. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation suspended aid distribution again, blaming threats from Hamas. Also in the programme: the runaway rodents who had China transfixed; and it's Goodbye Lenin to Central Asia's tallest statue.

  • Hello and welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service.

  • We're coming to you live from our studio in London.

  • I'm Lise Doucette.

  • We start...

  • In Gaza there has been more violence today near the new aid distribution center run by a controversial new agency the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation or GFF which is backed by Israel and the United States.

  • Reports from Gaza say from the civil defense agency say six Palestinians were killed and several wounded by Israeli gunfire.

  • The Israeli ministry says it did fire warning shots at suspects it said who approached them in a threatening manner.

  • Over the past week dozens of people have been killed

  • while trying to reach these new aid hubs.

  • The organisation running the facilities which has faced international criticism says it's paused operations to deal with overcrowding and to improve safety.

  • And there's also been more violence across Gaza today.

  • Let's go to Jerusalem to join our correspondent Barbara Plett Usher.

  • Barbara,

  • are there more details about what happened today

  • because it seems that there is violence almost every time there is a distribution of aid by GFF?

  • That's a fair question, Lise.

  • It's a particular aid distribution site where the violence has taken place,

  • or most of the violence has taken place, and this is in southern Gaza.

  • where Palestinians, they gather at a roundabout,

  • which is in order to wait until the aid site opens.
