More than 130 charity organizations and other NGOs call for disconnection of controversial Israeli and the US Humanities Fund (GHF).
More than 500 Palestinians were killed while looking for help because GHF started working in late May, after a three -month Israeli Gaza blockage, the organizations said. Almost 4,000 were injured.
Organizations, including Oxfam, rescue children and amnesty, say that Israeli troops and armed groups “regularly” open the fire of the Palestinians looking for help.
Israel denies its soldiers intentionally shoots at the recipients of assistance and defended the GHF system, saying that it provides direct help to people who need it, bypassing Hamas’s interference.
A joint statement on Tuesday from the biggest charities on Tuesday states that the basis violates all rules of humanitarian work, including by coercion of two million people into overflowing and militarized areas where they face daily shots.
Ever since GHF started working in Gaza, almost daily reports of Israeli forces who are looking for help on these sites, from doctors, eyewitnesses and Ministry of Health Hamas.
The GHF Assistance System replaced 400 aid distribution points operating during the temporary ceasefire of Israel-Homas With only four sites of distribution of the militaryThree in the far southwest of Gaza and one in the central gas.
“Today, the Palestinians in Gaza are faced with an impossible choice: to starve or risk when they are desperate to get to food to feed their families,” the statement said.
“Children -sirots and tutors are among the dead, and children who have suffered more than half of the attacks on civilians in these sites.”
The GHF assistance system was convicted by the UN agencies. On Friday, UN Secretary -General Antonio Gutteres called it “inherently dangerous.”
From the very beginning, the UN has condemned the plan, stating that it was “militarization” of assistance, bypassing the existing distribution network and forcing gas to make long journeys through a dangerous area to get food.
Israeli military said he was studying reports of civilians to “harm” When approaching the GHF help centers.
According to the report of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz on Friday, soldiers of the unnamed Israeli forces (IDF) said they were ordered to shoot at unarmed civilians near the distribution sites to expel or disperse them.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly rejected the report, calling the allegations “malicious fakes”.
The Israeli military also denied allegations of deliberate shooting on Palestinians who are waiting for humanitarian aid.
A statement on Monday IDF states that reorganizing access to sites, and this will include new “fences” and signaling, including guide and precending signs to improve the operative reaction.
But the 130-plus organizations said that GHF is “not a humanitarian response” for gas.
“Among the difficult conditions of hunger and the like, many families tell us that now too weak to compete for food rations,” the groups said.
