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.

Ukrainian forces are seeking to reclaim the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol, but to get there, they will need to break through heavy Russian fortifications.
F-16 fighter jets from Denmark and the Netherlands may help Ukraine achieve that goal. cbsn.ws/45ybPmh
