The scene has become recurring since the return of humanitarian aid to Gaza: hundreds of unarmed civilians attacked by shooting in food distribution sites. The origin of strikes is often unknown, but Israeli soldiers have admitted to having received the order to shoot, even in the absence of a threat.
Last week, Abdallah Alnajjar, resident of the city of Gaza, tried luck in a humanitarian distribution center, but shot him in his hand. “We approached the site, but the shots began from distant. Tank, Drone and Artillery Fire,” he said. I was caught for an hour and a half. “
In Al-Shifa, the largest hospital in the city, many injured say the same experience. “The one who reaches these distribution points is considered a missing person and the one who returns alive, as resurrected,” says Hani Alhasat, who received explosions of the head due to a drone.
“Chaos”
These food aid centers, administered by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and supported by Israel and the United States, are strongly criticized by other organizations that help the civilian population. Doctors Without Borders (MSF), they even requested their dismantling.
“These distributions are always made in chaos, especially when the trucks arrive and we receive a lot of victims wounded from direct fire whose origin is often unknown, but also of crushing by trucks or multitude movements,” deplores the doctor Abdelkarim Abou Oud, emergency doctor at the Al-Shifa hospital.
According to the Hamas Ministry of Health, 583 Palestinians have been killed near the humanitarian aid distribution centers, since the beginning of GHF operations at the end of May. The UN Chief, Antonio Guterres, denounced a “militarized” distribution system that “kills people.”
In a statement, the Israeli army firmly denied the accusations of soldiers according to which they had the order to shoot civilians around these distribution sites.
