US EditionNews24 | Call for US-Backed Gaza Aid Group to Shut Down, Warning of ‘War Crimes’ Complicity
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUN 23 – Fifteen rights groups warn Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s militarized aid model risks war crimes and urge restoration of UN-led humanitarian channels amid escalating civilian casualties.
- A coalition of over a dozen human rights groups has urged the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to halt its activities, citing concerns that its operations may involve complicity in war crimes.
- The organizations warned that GHF's privatized, militarized aid model, begun on May 26, replaces UN relief and involves coordination with Israeli forces, raising legal concerns.
- GHF's aid distributions have coincided with deadly incidents, including 21 people killed near distribution sites and at least 450 deaths since late May in Gaza according to local health data.
- The letter warned that persisting with these activities could result in legal consequences, both criminal and civil, for involvement in international crimes, emphasizing that accountability for such actions under international law is unequivocal and unavoidable.
- The groups called for reverting to recognized humanitarian channels and pressing for Gaza's opening and a ceasefire, highlighting the broader human rights and protection failures involved.
