Murders near Gaza Assistance Center deepen criticism of the new Israeli distribution system

Witnesses and international medical groups report the horrible murder scenes when Israeli troops opened fire on Tuesday before dawn to Palestinians who went to a new place of help distribution in the south of Gaza. According to a foreign witness, it was a “common massacre”.

The official statement of the Israeli military personnel describes a completely different picture. It states that “several suspects” moved to Israeli forces “, which deviate from the appointed access routes.” The troops “carried out a warning fire … Additional shots were sent about a few separate suspects who advanced to the troops.”

The murder of civilians who came to seek food assistance to double criticism of the new controversial distribution system to gas.

New Gaza Relief Centers are a scheme of Israel, conceived by Israel with the support of the United States to replace the operation, run by the United Nations and other experiences. The new private body, the Gaza Humanities Fund (GHF), works with armed security teams provided by the US company in its nodes, which are still in the southern gas under full Israeli military control.

GHF began after a complete ban on Israel on food supplies and other gas assistance, left the entire population at risk, reports an agency collecting food and food and the UN.

Israel claims that UN staff stood nearby, and Hamas stole a great help that came into gas. The UN denies the allegations, insisting that it can take into account all the help it distributes. He refuses to cooperate with GHF.

It is clear that the GHF system has fundamental deficiencies that cause the worst fears of specialists.

Jake Wood, the head of the GHF, resigned a little more than 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 supplied utilities and bakeries that fed hundreds of thousands.

The GHF system means that people have to travel through the military zone in the ruins of the Southern Gaza to collect the girdle with rations. The distribution seems chaotic, and has repeatedly crashed for free for everyone. Strong young people can seize help boxes for their families. The weakest will not receive anything. Not enough to get around.

To approach the front queue, the Palestinians go overnight. The great gatherings of the Palestinians who desperately want to get diet are inherently difficult to manage. It seems that this morning Israeli troops opened fire with the deadly consequences.

In an interview with the BBC, before the latest murders, UN Human Rights Commissioner Volker Turk said the GHF plan showed that “the high -office ignores civilians. Can you imagine people who were absolutely desperate to food, almost three months, and then they should mostly run on it or try to get it in the most desperate circumstances?”

He said: “Shows a complete disrespect for the laws of war, to protect civilians.”

The GHF argument is that it is better than nothing that it provides a diet module and can be expanded.

The argument against him is that Israel uses to control and wipes of Palestinian civilians. Israeli ministers are open to use food assistance as weapons of war. Israel’s Defense Minister called it a “lever” against Hamas.

The deadly upheaval surrounding the Operations of the Humanitarian Gaza Foundation comes at a time when close Israel allies, including the UK, France and Canada, require great changes in gas behavior, including what allows the humanitarian aid required for more than two million.

They threatened specific steps, most likely sanctions and possibly recognizing the Palestinian state, if Israel did not finish the last offensive.

Western diplomats are disappointed with the murder of hungry in Gaza, as the Israel’s international isolation is deepening.
