TEL AVIV—The launch of an Israeli-backed plan to deliver aid in Gaza through a private company erupted into chaos after thousands of Palestinians broke into the distribution site and forced its staff to retreat.

The distribution of aid began normally on Tuesday, with Palestinians lining up to receive boxes of food early in the day at a distribution center in Rafah in southern Gaza. But the security situation changed at around 4:30 p.m. local time when a poorly constructed gate collapsed as large crowds tried to push through the narrow entrance, witnesses said. Looting ensued, according to the witnesses, who said they heard shots fired in an effort to disperse the crowds. No injuries were reported.
