At least forty people were killed in Gaza on Monday due to attacks. Half of them died in an Israeli attack on a food post in Rafah. Two hundred others were injured.
The distribution point was part of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). This controversial organization divides food and other emergency aid to people in Gaza. The support points have been the target of attacks several times.
This time the auxiliary post in Rafah in southern Gaza was the target. Around the point it was busy with people trying to get food. According to care providers, at least twenty people died through Israeli shootings at the distribution point, writes Reuters. Two hundred others were injured.
There are more often attacks on the GHF, which is supported by the United States. According to the Palestinian authorities, at least three hundred people were killed at the distribution points. 2,600 people have also been injured. The Palestinian Ministry of Health falls under control of Hamas, but figures from this are generally seen as reasonably reliable by the United Nations. They are not independently verified.
In the UN Human Rights Council, human rights chef Volker Türk stated that Israel had “armed” food in Gaza. He repeated a call to investigate fatal attacks near the GHF distribution points.
The GHF closed the points several times due to a lack of safety. The United Nations have rejected the organization and state that the emergency aid is “insufficient, dangerous and contrary to humanitarian rules”.
“Dozens of people have been killed and injured in recent days, including starving people who tried to get food through a fatal distribution system,” writes Head Philippe Lazzarini of UN refugee organization UNRWA.
Before the introduction of the GHF, help was mainly offered by UN organizations such as UNRWA. But Israel has forbidden Unwra, causing the humanitarian crisis to get Gaza every day. Israel says it had to tackle distribution because Hamas abused or steals food aid. The militants deny this and say that Israel uses hunger as a weapon.
The Israeli army has not yet responded to Monday’s reports about shootings. In earlier incidents, Israel occasionally acknowledged that troops opened fire near auxiliary posts, but the country gave the reason that “people behaved suspiciously”.
