The doctors without borders (MSF) requested, this Friday, June 27, the dismantling of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), claiming that this device “is a simulation of food distribution that produces massacres in the chain.”
This food distribution system in Gaza, supported by the United States and Israel, “seems to be designed to humiliate the Palestinians,” MSF denounces, informing “more than 500 people killed and almost 4,000 wounds while they went to these distributions in search of food.”
MSF medical teams receive people who have been killed or wounded every day while trying to obtain food in one of the sites, and discovered, about the distributions, a strong increase in the wounds by the ball.
The foundation denies any incident
Given the restrictions imposed on the media by Israel in Gaza and the difficulties of access to the war field, AFP cannot independently verify the balances provided by the organizations that operate on the site.
The Foundation, which uses armed contracted workers to guarantee the safety of their centers, denies any incident within its centers.
This device “is a simulation of food distribution that produces massacres in the chain and must be arrested immediately,” MSF denounces, arguing that it forces the Palestinians “to choose between starving and risking their lives to obtain a cautious amount of food.”
This chaos prevents women, children, the elderly or disabled from accessing humanitarian aid, the NGO is alarmed.
“They are shot”
Israel imposed a humanitarian blockade in the Palestinian territory in early March that led to a very serious shortage of food, drugs and other basic needs. The blockade was only partially softened at the end of May, the date on which the GHF Foundation began its distributions.
“The four distribution sites, all located in areas completely controlled by the Israeli forces after the inhabitants have moved by force, are the size of a football field and are surrounded by observation poles, ground embankments and spikes wire. Its fenced entrance allows an access point,” explains the Zabalgageaskoa plane, the MSF emergency coordinator.
“If people arrive too early and approach the control points, shoot them. If they arrive on time, but there are too many people and jump on the tracks and the spike wire, they are shooting” and “they are late, they should not be there because it is an ‘evacuated area’, they are shot,” he denounces.
The UN and Humanitarian NGOs have severely criticized the GHF and refuse to work with it, due to concerns about their procedures and neutrality.
MSF requests the lifting of the blockade in food, fuel, medical and humanitarian supplies and to return to the previous aid system coordinated by the United Nations.
