US EditionGroups fear Israeli proposal for controlling aid in Gaza will forcibly displace people
- Twenty aid groups operating in Gaza signed a document expressing alarm over Israel's May 2025 proposal to control aid distribution through a few centralized sites within Gaza.
- The proposal follows Israel's two-month blockade blocking all imports since March 2025, aiming to pressure Hamas to release 59 hostages taken in October 2023, but aid groups say the eligibility and distribution procedures remain opaque.
- Aid organizations fear that limiting distribution to five hubs would force families to move, create crowds near Israeli troops, risk permanent displacement, and violate humanitarian principles by allowing military or private contractors to control aid delivery.
- Claire Nicolet of Doctors Without Borders said, "I am very scared about that," while U.N. Spokesperson Jens Laerke emphasized Israel must "facilitate our work, not weaponize it," as 2.1 million Palestinians depend on aid.
- As most aid groups reject any system involving direct Israeli distribution, they warn Israel bears moral and legal responsibility if it fails to meet humanitarian needs amid what may be the worst shortages in nearly 19 months of war with Hamas.

But according to reporting from the Financial Times, the plans would se…
