US Edition'Slaughter masquerading as aid': MSF slams US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUN 28 – Over 500 Palestinians have died near Israeli- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid sites since May amid critiques of politicized and dangerous food distribution, medical groups say.
- On Friday, MSF branded the Israel-U.S. aid scheme 'slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid,' demanding its immediate dismantling for being a dehumanising operation.
- Since March, Israel's blockade led to limited food supplies via GHF, violating international law and fueling humanitarian crises in Gaza.
- Over 500 Palestinians killed and nearly 4,000 wounded seeking food, with a 190% rise in gunshot injuries at MSF hospitals, highlighting deadly consequences of the aid scheme.
- UN condemned Israel’s 'weaponisation of food' as a war crime, with Guterres stating 'People are being killed simply trying to feed themselves,' and Lazzarini calling the aid system 'a killing field.'
- Beyond the immediate crisis, the UN urges restoring UN-led aid flows and ensuring humanitarian assistance is unimpeded by warring parties to prevent further suffering.
