130 Charities Call for End of Israeli, US-backed Gaza Aid Group
A joint statement from major charities criticizes the GHF for forcing two million people in Gaza into overcrowded and militarized zones, leading to daily gunfire incidents. The aid system has replaced 400 distribution points with just four military-controlled sites, causing harm to civilians seeking food.
Tuesday's joint statement from some of the world's biggest charities criticizes the GHF for violating humanitarian norms. The foundation has forced two million people into overcrowded and militarized zones in Gaza, where they face daily gunfire. Reports indicate Israeli forces have killed people seeking aid at these sites. The GHF aid system has been condemned by UN agencies for being 'inherently unsafe' and 'militarising' aid distribution.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and aid organizations have expressed concerns over the GHF's operations, which have led to orphaned children and caregivers being harmed. The Israeli military is investigating reports of civilians being harmed near GHF aid distribution centers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied allegations of deliberately firing at Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid.
The GHF aid distribution system has replaced 400 aid points with four military-controlled sites, making it difficult for Palestinians to access food. The IDF has announced plans to improve access to the sites with new fencing and signposting. However, over 130 aid organizations argue that the GHF is not providing a proper humanitarian response to the crisis in Gaza.
