The Israeli-US food distribution scheme in Gaza is 'slaughter masquerading as aid' - Médecins Sans Frontières

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has said that “the Israeli-US food distribution scheme in Gaza is slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid” as it called on the Israeli authorities to end its siege on the devastated territory.

Palestinian witnesses and health officials say Israeli forces have repeatedly opened fire on crowds heading toward desperately needed food, killing hundreds of Palestinian people in recent weeks.

Israel wants the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – an Israeli-backed logistics group - to replace a system coordinated by the UN and international aid groups. Along with the US, it accuses Hamas of stealing aid, without offering evidence.

The UN and aid agencies have denied that there has been any significant theft of their supplies by Hamas.

Deadly Israeli-US supply distribution scheme in Gaza must be dismantled and siege lifted

The Israeli-US food distribution scheme in Gaza, Palestine, launched one month ago, is degrading Palestinians by design, forcing them to choose between starvation or risking their lives for minimal supplies.

With over 500 people killed and nearly 4,000 wounded while seeking food, this scheme is slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid and must be immediately dismantled…

This disaster has been orchestrated by the Israeli-US proxy operating under the name Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The way supplies are distributed forces thousands of Palestinians, who have been starved by an over 100 day-long Israeli siege, to walk long distances to reach the four distribution sites and fight for scraps of food supplies.

These sites hinder women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, from accessing aid and people are killed and wounded in the chaotic process.... READ MORE https://www.msf.org/deadly-israeli-us-supply-distribution-scheme-gaza-must-be-dismantled

UN chief says US-backed Gaza aid operation is 'unsafe' and is 'killing people'

United Nations secretary general António Guterres said on Friday that a US-backed aid operation in Gaza is “inherently unsafe,” giving a blunt assessment: “It is killing people.”

He also said UN-led humanitarian efforts are being “strangled,” aid workers themselves are starving and Israel - as the occupying power - is required to agree to and facilitate aid deliveries into and throughout Palestine, Reuters reports.

“People are being killed simply trying to feed themselves and their families. The search for food must never be a death sentence,” Guterres told reporters.   https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jun/27/israel-closes-crossing-aid-points-gaza-famine-middle-east-crisis-latest-updates-news?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-685ebb278f080e77497127e3#block-685ebb278f080e77497127e3
