The new distribution in Israeli -backed aid gas, met the United States with chaos, shooting in the first week

At the southern end of Gaza, mostly a dungeon road – However, for the Israeli military presence – thousands of Palestinians met on Friday to obtain the latest distribution to help from the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

The lines were long, the road was dangerous, and the possibility of leaving empty -handed was high. But people were desperate. After weeks of aid does not reach Gaza, they will go to any lengths to secure some food.

“I will face death so that I can feed my children,” Imran Wafi told CBC News from the side of the road to a distribution point.

“We know it is dangerous, but the big catastrophe is that there is no food for us to eat.”

GHF claims that she has provided more than two million meals in Gaza in the first week of her pocket operations.

The initiative – supported by the United States and Israel – uses private armed contractors to provide assistance in a limited number of distribution points established by Israel. It was established in February as a means of Israel to bypass the non -orbit distribution system. The initiative was registered in Dilayer and Switzerland, and is managed by a group of officials and executives from the world of defense, intelligence and business, Washington Post mentioned.

The new assistance initiative has already condemned the lack of enough supplies to compensate for the two months in which Israel prevented all aid from entering Gaza and not reaching parts of Gaza that it needs strongly. Not only includes critics United NationsOther help agencies and Some Western allies in IsraelBut its officials.

GHF CEO, Jake Wood, I resigned earlier this weekAnd, saying that the group was not able to follow up “the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, neutrality and independence, which I will not abandon.”

In a statement of CBC News, GHF said that its distributions occurred “without an accident” and planned to expand its presence in the pocket, including in the northern region “in the coming weeks. He is currently running two sites, one in Rafah and one in the center of Gaza in the Natsarim corridor.

But eyewitness reports from the ground say that many of these distributions It was messyAnd that at least one person was killed in the GHF center – a claim by the organization.

Video footage of the week Groups of people who penetrate the walls appear and run in each direction in the midst of gunshots. Gaza resident Ahmed Al -Qaddi says that his friend, Mohamed Abdi, was killed with the help of GHF And natsarim on Wednesday.

“He went for help and on his way to the house … he turned his back and hit,” he said. “This aid with blood, it is covered with blood.”

GHF denies anyone who was killed during its operations this week. “No civilians or individuals involved in the distribution of aid were hurt, and no life has been lost,” he said in a statement to the CBC News.

However, the assistance distributions by the group, which started on Monday, were not so It was without hiccupsMany end up with warning clips or chaotic rest periods by the Palestinians through the walls that were held to control the squad.

GHF also criticized organizations including the United Nations, which opposes its operations in Gaza. The former leading relief group in Gaza, the United Nations Relief and Business Agency for Palestine (UNRWA), was banned from the region last year by Israel due to the involvement of its alleged employees on October 7, 2023, the Hamas attack that sparked the current war in Gaza. Nevertheless, UNRWA continued to work and the prohibition pimp with anxiety from international leaders.

the The United Nations said on Friday GHF is “an attempt to circumvent the United Nations and its agencies on the ground” that were present in Gaza for a long time “according to international law.”

The statement added that GHF “failed to test human principles.”

CBC News caught with people who walk from the distribution point in central Gaza. One man showed the contents of a box containing flour, sugar, pasta and oil.

But not everyone was lucky. On Thursday, Muhammad Abu Garbod, a resident of Gaza, said the second time that it reached a distribution point and left empty -handed. A crutch tilted because of the amputation leg, the 45 -year -old appeared to be exhausted.

“I cannot find food for my children,” he said. “I can’t find anything.”

Despair was installed for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where looting has become more frequently this week. Some aid trucks were allowed, but they met the mobs from civilians looking for any food they can get, especially the flour.

Mohamed Jamalkh was at the scene when a truck was looted in Gaza City on Thursday. He said that people were “eating each other alive.”

“People die from hunger,” he said. “There is no flour, everything was stolen.”
