EXCLUSIVE: The U.S. and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was established to replace the United Nations as the main distributor of aid. In late June, the U.S. State Department approved $30 million for the group, calling its work "absolutely incredible." But according to the U.N., hundreds of Palestinians have been shot and killed by Israel Defense Forces and "foreign military contractors" at or near GHF aid sites. CBS News’ @Debora_Patta spoke to a new eyewitness who concurs, saying it's not only the IDF shooting, but personnel hired through American subcontractors to secure the sites.

U.S. negotiators remain working on securing a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. CBS News' @Debora_Patta reports on the latest in the situation there, as Israel steps up its attacks.

We are calling for “unfettered access” to Gaza so that we can report from the ground independently and tell this story freely - in an open letter to #Israeli and #Egyptian authorities

The burden of reporting Israel’s war in Gaza has fallen on courageous Palestinian journalists - more than 80 have been killed. International media are not allowed into Gaza - our letters to Israel and Egypt asking for unfettered access to Gaza like all other conflicts reported on

The U.S. is warning of disaster and humanitarian aid groups are condemning Israel as it prepares for a full-scale ground offensive in Gaza's southernmost city, Rafah, where nearly 1.5 million Palestinians sought refuge since the war began in October. @Debora_Patta has more.
