’s aid distribution has been marred by chaos in its first week of operations, andon crowds near its delivery sites. Before Sunday, at least six people had been killed and more than 50 wounded, according to local health officials.

The foundation says the private security contractors guarding its sites have not fired on the crowds. Israel’s military has acknowledged firing warning shots on previous occasions.The foundation said in a statement it distributed 16 truckloads of aid early Sunday “without incident,” and dismissed what it described as “false reporting about deaths, mass injuries and chaos.”Thousands of people headed toward the distribution site in southern Gaza hours before dawn. As they approached, Israeli forces ordered them to disperse and come back later, witnesses said. When the crowds reached the Flag Roundabout, around 1 kilometer (half a mile) away, at around 3 a.m., Israeli forces opened fire, the witnesses said.

“There was fire from all directions, from naval warships, from tanks and drones,” said Amr Abu Teiba, who was in the crowd.He said he saw at least 10 bodies with gunshot wounds and several other wounded people, including women. People used carts to ferry the dead and wounded to a field hospital. “The scene was horrible,” he said.

Most people were shot “in the upper part of their bodies, including the head, neck and chest,” said Dr. Marwan al-Hams, a health ministry official at Nasser Hospital, where many of the wounded were transferred after being brought to the field hospital run by the Red Cross.

He said 24 people were being treated in Nasser Hospital’s intensive care unit. A colleague, surgeon Khaled al-Ser, later said 150 wounded people had arrived, along with 28 bodies.Joseph hires midwives who can relate to patients. One gave birth to the first of her six children at 16 years old with the help of a midwife. Another was born to a teen mom, grew up without much money and joined the organization to help people who often don’t get access to midwifery care.

On a recent afternoon, Kayleigh Sturrup arrived for a clinic checkup a few weeks before giving birth to her first child. During the pregnancy, she had uterine fibroids, ligament pain and shortness of breath. She said the midwives gave her “a layer of support.”Experts say health care providers are more likely to spot potential problems when they listen closely to patients and take what they say seriously.
