More than 130 charities and other NGOs are calling for the controversial Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to be shut down.

 

Over 500 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid since the GHF started operating in late May, following Israel's three-month blockade of Gaza, the organisations said. Almost 4,000 have been injured.

 

The organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty, say Israeli forces and armed groups "routinely" open fire on Palestinians seeking aid.

Really, so where do they get their information from? Interesting that they are also now admitting armed groups routinely" open fire on Palestinians seeking aid

Two disgruntled US contractors making claims against their own US contractors in another hearsay hit piece on GHF that has zero evidence to back it. Live ammo fired to ward off rampaging groups. Seems reasonable to me considering we also know Hamas are present.

 

US contractors say their colleagues are firing live ammo as Palestinians seek food in Gaza

American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press.

Two U.S. contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers’ internal operations, said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices. They said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished.

Analysis of Gaza casualties data by Sky's Data & Forensics Unit shows that deaths have spiked during days with more GHF distributions.

 

On days when GHF conducted two operations, health officials reported an average of 48 deaths and 189 injuries, whilst on days of 5 or 6 distributions  authorities reported almost as many as three times the number of casualties.

 

30% of aid distributions have ended in violence.

Putting the record straight, again, instead of the usual spreading of misinformation and deliberate false information. Of course you can opt to believe the terrorists Hamas instead.

 

GHF statement in response to recent reporting from the Associated Press: 

“GHF launched an immediate investigation when the Associated Press first brought these allegations to our attention. Based on time-stamped video footage and sworn witness statements, we have concluded that the claims in the AP’s story are categorically false.

At no point were civilians under fire at a GHF distribution site. The gunfire heard in the video was confirmed to have originated from the IDF, who was outside the immediate vicinity of the GHF distribution site. It was not directed at individuals, and no one was shot or injured.

GHF response to recent report from Amnesty International:

"In just five weeks, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has delivered over 58 million meals and one million boxes of aid directly to civilians in Gaza safely, consistently, and without interference from Hamas. Our mission is to feed people and it’s working. Amnesty International’s claim that GHF is complicit in the weaponization of aid is false, dangerous, and deeply irresponsible. It ignores the facts on the ground and undermines the very effort that is feeding hundreds of thousands of Palestinians every single day.

Statement from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) regarding the deadly attack on UN convoys today: 

The GHF Team is deeply saddened by the deadly incident involving UN convoys today that resulted in 40 civilians losing their life. Trying to deliver aid in an active war zone is a dangerous operation and a constant reminder that violence surrounds all aid efforts and humanitarians in Gaza. 

The root cause of these incidents is desperation. Ultimately the solution is more aid, which will create more certainty and reduce the dangerous means by which aid-seekers attempt to secure aid.

GHF continues to believe that safe, secure, and direct distribution is the most effective way to protect lives and ensure aid reaches those who need it most. We remain ready to share operational insights, expand access, and support the efforts of all aid organizations to deliver aid safely and effectively across Gaza.

Hamas warns Palestinians against cooperating with U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

CAIRO, July 3 (Reuters) - The Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza on Thursday warned residents of the coastal enclave not to assist the U.S.-and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, saying deadly incidents near its food distribution sites endangered hungry Gazans.
"It is strictly forbidden to deal with, work for, or provide any form of assistance or cover to the American organization (GHF) or its local or foreign agents," an interior ministry statement said.

"Legal action will be taken against anyone proven to be involved in cooperation with this organization, including the imposition of the maximum penalties stipulated in the applicable national laws," it added, without giving further details.

I suggest it's not that black and white:

 

- Yes the jews suffered very badly during WW2, the holocaust etc. After WW2 they received reparations and land etc., to build their county Israel. Including billions of US$ every month for decades and more.

- Yes Hamas (not Palestine) committed serious / violent acts against Israel / the Jews in October 2024.

- Israel punished Hamas severely, and that punishment continues today including total destruction of Palestine, hospitals etc., and the death of thousands of Palestinians including large numbers of children, and blocking of humanitarian supplies, food, fuel and more. Children how starving.

 

Seems to me it's now well past time for israel to stop their punishment and work towards harmony.

Gaza aid group says two US workers injured, blames ‘hostile action by Hamas’

The Israel and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says that two American aid workers were injured this morning, blaming the attack on “hostile action by Hamas.”

“This morning, two American aid workers were injured distributing food as part of GHF activities. Early indication is that this was hostile action by Hamas. GHF continues to investigate and will update with more information as it becomes available,” the group says in a statement.

GHF says assailants threw two hand grenades at the workers, adding that the injuries are not life-threatening.

In the almost six weeks since a private aid operation called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) launched, the opaque effort to replace UN operations in Gaza, rather than work alongside them, has been at the centre of controversy.

 

Israeli soldiers and armed American contractors have been accused of shooting at crowds of starving people surging towards their distribution centres.

This funding has been matched by allocations from the Israeli government, according to two US government sources.

How USAID Funded Hamas
Government dollars flowed to the infamous terror group, watchdogs found.

 

The most striking aspect of President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) isn’t that unsavory aid recipients have misused taxpayer dollars. It’s that anyone is shocked by the revelations of waste, fraud, and abuse. After all, watchdog groups have sounded the alarm for years about misuse of USAID funds.

People shouldn’t just be enraged by USAID’s wasteful spending. They should also focus on what that spending supported—particularly when it promoted terror or aligned with Hamas’s interests.

At least 798 people have been killed while seeking food at distribution points operated by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and other humanitarian convoys since the end of May, the UN human rights office said on Friday.

 

The GHF, proposed by Israel as an alternative to the UN aid system in Gaza, has been almost universally condemned by rights groups for its violation of principles of humanitarian impartiality and what they have said could be complicity in war crimes.

 

“Up until 7 July, we’ve recorded now 798 killings, including 615 in the vicinity of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and 183 presumably on the route of aid convoys,” the UN spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani told reporters in Geneva.

Now the facts.................

 

Another day, another cleverly worded @UN pronouncement designed to intentionally mislead the public about what’s really happening with aid distribution in Gaza. Once again, the media falls for it hook, line, and sinker. Let’s break it down. This morning, the UN issued a statement condemning the “killings of people at aid distribution sites.” They mention GHF multiple times—clearly trying to blame us for the deaths of hundreds of people in Gaza—yet they mention Hamas only once, and not even in connection with aid distribution. That speaks volumes. Let’s be clear: this narrative is being driven by Hamas, amplified by UN statements, and rubber-stamped by the press. The number “798” is pure Hamas propaganda. These claims are rarely verified, often recycled, and designed to generate outrage, not accuracy.

From western aid people actually there:

 

"For the last three days, we’ve seen Hamas attack Gazans who attempt to avail themselves of this aid. We’ve seen Hamas threaten and blackmail Gazans against seeking out this aid. And we appear to have seen Hamas also staging massacres and then pinning the blame for these massacres on Israel. And the BBC and CNN and all of them should’ve stopped for five minutes to think about it. Which really makes more sense - that Hamas would continue to do on a larger scale what it’s been doing for the last 20 months. Or that Israelis would concoct some convoluted scheme of distributing aid, which is unpopular in Israel, in order to lure Palestinians into a trap so that they could kill them 30 at a time in front of cameras where the international community would see them and condemn them for it. It just makes no sense." 

Our colleague Abdullah Hammad was killed last week by Israeli forces as he waited to collect flour from an aid truck in Khan Younis.

 

He is the 12th Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) colleague to have been killed in Gaza since October 2023.

Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while attempted to get aid in Gaza, according to the UN.

 

After setting up a total aid blockade in Gaza for more than two months, Israel began allowing aid to re-enter the enclave late May through a new US- and Israel-backed organisation called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) that has effectively sidelined the territory's vast UN-led aid delivery network.

 

“The UN coordinated system has been crippled and undermined intentionally by Israel and its allies such that they were able then to introduce this horrifically violent alternative”, said James Smith, lecturer in Humanitarian policy and practice at UCL London. 

 

UN aid system in Gaza ‘crippled and undermined intentionally’ by Israel, expert says | Watch

GENEVA (Reuters) -The U.N. rights office said on Tuesday it had recorded at least 875 killings within the past six weeks at aid points in Gaza run by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and convoys run by other relief groups, including the United Nations.

 

The majority of those killed were in the vicinity of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, while the remaining 201 were killed on the routes of other aid convoys.

 

The GHF uses private U.S. security and logistics companies to get supplies into Gaza, largely bypassing a U.N.-led system that Israel alleges has let Hamas-led militants loot aid shipments intended for civilians. Hamas denies the allegation.

 

UN says 875 Palestinians have been killed near Gaza aid sites

At least 20 people have been killed in a crush at an aid distribution centre in southern Gaza run by the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the organisation and a local hospital say.

 

The GHF said 19 were trampled to death and one was stabbed "amid a chaotic and dangerous surge" at its site in the Khan Younis area. It added that it believed people "armed and affiliated with Hamas" fomented unrest.

 

But Gaza's Hamas-run Government Media Office denied this claim and accused the GHF of trying to "cover up" a crime.

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg4rwrkdlzxo

 

So many deaths and injuries at the GHF centres since they opened. 

When will Israel and the US let the UN back in to do its job with its 400 distribution sites?
