Murders near Gaza’s Aid Center will deepen criticism of Israel’s new distribution system

Witnesses and international medical teams report terrible scenes of murder, as Israeli troops opened fire on Tuesday’s hours before dawn of Palestinians who were approaching the place to distribute new aid in South Gaza. It was a “total carnage” according to a foreign witness.

An official statement of the Israeli military describes a completely different picture. It says that “several suspects” move to the Israeli forces, “diverting from the designated access routes.” The troops “made a warning fire … Additional shots were directed near several individual suspects that advanced to the troops.”

The murder of civilians who have come to seek food assistance will affect the criticism of the controversial new system of distribution of assistance in Gaza.

The new Gaza Aid Centers are a scheme conceived by Israel with the support of the United States to replace the operation conducted by the United Nations and other experienced international assistance groups. A new private body, the Humanitarian Gaza Foundation (GHF), are working on armed security teams provided by an American company in their centers, which are so far in southern gas regions under full Israeli military control.

GHF has started after a complete ban on Israeli food for food supply and other Gaza has left the entire population at the risk of starvation, according to an agency that collects emergency data from food and UN.

Israel claims that the UN staff stood as Hamas stole the bigger part of the aid entering the gas. The UN denies the allegations, insisting that it could take into account all the help it distributes. He refuses to cooperate with GHF.

It is clear that the GHF system has major disadvantages, carrying the oldest fears from help specialists.

Jake Wood, the GHF leader, resigned just over a week ago, saying that he would not be able to fulfill the principles of “humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence.”

The UN had a wide network of distribution points and deliver ingredients to municipal kitchens and bakeries that feed hundreds of thousands.

The GHF system means that people have to travel through a war zone in the ruins of South Gaza to collect a box of rations. Distribution seems chaotic and has repeatedly broken up for free for everyone. Stronger young men can grab boxes for help for their families. The most glorious get nothing. Not enough to go around.

To get to the front of the tail that the Palestinians walk all night. The large gatherings of Palestinians, desperate to receive food rations, are inherently difficult to manage. It seems that this morning Israeli troops have opened fire with deadly consequences.

In an interview with the BBC before the last murders, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, said the GHF plan showed “complete disregard for civilians. Can you imagine people who have been absolutely desperate for food, for almost three months and then they have to run for it or try to get the first to go to the first

He said the behavior of Israel that he “shows completely disrespect for the laws of war, about the protection of civilians.”

The argument for the GHF system is that it is better than nothing that provides a modes of food and can be expanded.

The argument against him is that Israel uses the Palestinian civilian root and root. Israeli ministers are open to the use of food assistance as a weapon of war. Defense Minister Israel Katz called it a “lever” against Hamas.

The deadly turmoil around the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation operations comes at a time when the close allies of Israel, including the UK, France and Canada, require major changes in its behavior in Gaza, including the allowance of the humanitarian aid needed to care for more than two million people.

They have threatened specific steps, most likely sanctions, and perhaps recognition of a Palestinian state if Israel does not end its last offensive.

Western diplomats are looking for the horror of the murder of the hunger in Gaza, as Israel’s international isolation is deepening.
