Israeli, US-backed Gaza aid group must end, say 130 charities

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 2 – Over 165 charities criticize the Israeli-US backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund for causing over 500 Palestinian deaths at aid sites since May, urging reinstatement of UN-led aid coordination.

  • On Tuesday, over 130 charities urged an end to the military-managed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is supported by Israel and the United States, calling for a return to the previous UN-led aid distribution system in Gaza.
  • The GHF replaced 400 UN-led aid distribution points with only four hubs guarded by armed contractors near Israeli military positions, forcing millions to travel long distances amid a blockade.
  • According to reports, the death toll among Palestinians attempting to access aid at GHF distribution locations has exceeded 500, with thousands more wounded; some eyewitness accounts claim that Israeli soldiers were instructed to fire on unarmed civilians near these aid centers.
  • The United Nations condemned the plan as "militarising" aid and called it "inherently unsafe," while Israel denies deliberate targeting and says it is investigating incidents to improve safety measures.
  • The widespread criticism suggests the GHF system undermines humanitarian principles and endangers civilians, highlighting urgent challenges in providing safe and effective aid under ongoing conflict and blockade conditions.
