  • This summer on Planet Money Summer School, we're learning about political economy.

  • We're getting into the nitty gritty of what government does with things like trade,

  • taxes, immigration and healthcare.

  • So politics and economics, which are taught separately, they shouldn't be separated at all.

  • I think you have to understand one to really appreciate the other.

  • So what is the right amount of government in our lives?

  • Tune into Planet Money Summer School from NPR, wherever you get their podcasts.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright.

  • At least 20 people were killed in a stampede at a food distribution site in Gaza today.

  • As NPR's Greg Dixon reports,

  • the site is run by a U.S. and Israel-backed group that has been criticized for the way it provides food.

  • The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, or GHF,

  • confirmed in a statement that at least 20 people were killed on Wednesday when a crowd at one of its food sites in Gaza surged.

  • They say most of those deaths were the result of people being trampled.

  • The health ministry in Gaza said tear gas was fired on people seeking food,

  • resulting in the stampede.

  • Since Israel replaced the UN system providing food aid with GHF in May,

  • Gaza health officials say more than 500 people have been killed by Israeli military fire outside the food sites.

  • GHF has been criticized for running chaotic and dangerous aid operations in Gaza.

  • Over 100 humanitarian organizations have called for GHF to shut down.
