Those who help and kill under its cover should face justice Israel’s conflict and the two

On June 6, she decided for the first time to go to a distribution site managed by what is known as the Gaza Humanitarian Corporation (GHF). For 12 km on foot, a few friends accompanied me.

I went with Amal, afraid to get some food for my family. What we faced bears any trace of humanity. The scene we saw playing in the distribution center is similar to the battlefield.

Israeli military vehicles stood next to GHF trucks, with a large barrier in front of them. The occupation soldiers were stationed in high locations, and their weapons indicated directly to the gathering of Palestinian civilians.

At one point, two trucks arrived and threw aid to the ground in a humiliating way. Anyone who tried to approach the shooting of Israeli soldiers was met. In the end, an Israeli soldier announced a loudspeaker, “Now you can get aid,” and the crowd rushed to the boxes.

He pushed men and pushed, children cried, and women trembled with fear and exhaustion. Only a small minority managed to put their hands on some aid. Some tried to steal from those who did it. The vast majority-I personally-returned to home empty-handed.

I felt as if we were selling our dignity to scrap. I have seen this as a deliberate insult, the reshaping of the awareness of our educated society, and its transformation into a broken society.

I went twice to GHF.

On the third trip, Nader, a 23 -year -old young man accompanied him during the displacement. Nader lived near me and went regularly to GHF.

Before genocide, he worked as a guard at an orphanage in East Khan Yunis. He did more than guarding the shelter. He took care of children, helped them in their daily lives, and gave them a feeling of safety. After destroying his life, he took responsibility for his family and relatives.

I saw him returning from the relief sites covered in dust from the head to the soles of the feet, completely exhausted, yet it is greeting me with a low smile even when he could not get anything.

On July 19, Nader and my 16 -year -old cousin prepared Khaled to go to GHF. I decided not to go, after I lost all hope in this place, fully convinced that it was a trap where I killed Ghazan daily under the banner of “humanitarian work”.

They said they would try to get there early to secure food. Nader never. Khaled Al -Jarhi returned with shrapnel in his leg.

The Israeli forces opened fire and fired several shells in hunger civilians. Most of the martyrs were at the front of the line. Nader had three bullets – in his chest, abdomen, and leg – with shrapnel from a shell that fell near him.

It was a rare destroyed murder for his family. They were the only provider. They could not find any words to express their grief, only the tears that fell on his important body, because they dug it.

Nader’s death was recorded in the dark statistics of the Palestinians who were killed in first aid distribution sites, which are value today 1500. To the world, it was just a number. For me, he was a good man who did not harm anyone but always helped others; He was stolen from everything because of the occupation, its home, its functions, and its dreams in traveling, working in design and editing the video. His family is now governed by starvation.

Since GHF began working in Gaza more than two months ago, almost every major humanitarian organization has condemned the way to distribute aid.

On August 7, doctors without borders published a report entitled: This is not help. This organized killing. Medical evidence provided that civilians were deliberately targeting and describing GHF sites as “death traps.”

A week ago, Human Rights Watch issued a report stating that what is happening constitutes a war crime, noting that the systematic shooting of Palestinian civilians without justification is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. She emphasized that the distribution of aid has turned into “regular blood baths”.

What makes GHF crimes more terrifying is that its leadership denies what is happening and embraces the account of the occupation. Its president, Johnny Moore, announced that there is no famine in Gaza, ignoring medical reports documenting the death of children from hunger. He accused Hamas of stealing aid and rejecting reports on the humanitarian situation as “information about Hamas’s misleading”.

He even claimed that Hamas had harmful Palestinian civilians to blame the Israeli army or GHF. However, the truth on the ground, which I witnessed directly, is that the only people who carry guns in GHF sites are mercenary guards and occupation soldiers. The next Palestinians there are civilians who are starving, and their bones emerge from extreme hunger.

The continuous operations of GHF have effects that exceed the Gaza Strip. The granting of legitimacy to this organization instead of condemning and dismantling it risk the transformation of humanitarian aid centers to killing fields everywhere.

I do not want my friend’s death to be a rare in vain. Everyone responsible for his killing should be, and everyone who allowed the distribution of aid through GHF, financing it, or giving it a false human cover. What we need is not only to stop these practices, but to prosecute everyone around aid into a trap, and used hunger as a weapon, and contributed to killing innocent people.

Silence on these crimes is collusion, and silence today means that they will happen again tomorrow.
