Over 100 Palestinians have been killed over the past few days while on their way to trying to obtain aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). This group, GHF is a private, non-profit organization created with the backing of Israel and the US to take over aid delivery in Gaza. GHF relies on private military contractors for security and aims to replace traditional methods of aid delivery in Gaza employed by humanitarian organizations.
Faced with growing international pressure, Israel eased its blockade two weeks ago, allowing a small amount of aid to enter Gaza, to be distributed through UN channels as well as through GHF. But the amount of aid trickling in is nowhere near enough to meet the needs of the population, according to Palestinian officials and international aid groups.
The foundation set up four “Secure Distribution Sites” in southern and central Gaza aiming to feed around 1.2 million of Gaza’s estimated 2.1 million population. That pales in comparison to the United Nations system, which relies on some 400 aid distribution points dotted up and down Gaza.
Nawal Al-Masri, whose young son was injured as he approached the area to get aid, said the site is a trap. “Is this what they call aid? This aid is to kill people,” Al-Masri told CNN.” What are we supposed to do when a child like this goes and try to get a bag of flour of two kilos? Is this right by any definition?”
The United Nations’ human rights chief, Volker Turk, said in a statement that “deadly attacks on distraught civilians trying to access the paltry amounts of food aid in Gaza, are unconscionable. There must be a prompt and impartial investigation into each of these attacks, and those responsible held to account.”
Turk added that Palestinians have been given “the grimmest of choices: die from starvation or risk being killed while trying to access the meagre food that is being made available through Israel’s militarized humanitarian assistance mechanism.”
FRONT Wordings: Genocide Palestine
BACK Wordings: Stop Killing Starving People Seeking Food. Over 100 People Killed by Gun Fire at Aid Distribution Centers. After Walking for Hours to Reach Food Aid Centers to Get A Meagre Supply of Food to Feed Their Family and Children, the Oppressors Opened Fire to Kill Them. Aid Centers Hare Become Death Traps. Palestinians in Gaza have been starving for 3 months now, due to blockade on food and medical aid. Such Cruelty that has not been seen in modern times. Genocide Palestine
The Prophet (saw) said, “When You See A Wrongdoing …
The Prophet (saw) said, “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim]
