Four cans of tuna, several spaghetti packages and liter oil, that is all that smoothed the Palestinians received after hours waiting in the sun, in the surrounded Gaza.
The new humanitarian scheme, led by Controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), supported by the U.S. and approved by Israel, has taken over the distribution of assistance, but only through several controlled points in the protection of American security firms.
UN and numerous humanitarian organizations have condemned this system, stating that inhumane, is inefficient and to allow Israel to use food as a means of control, writes Middle East Eye.
Although GHF claims to have shared 14,000 packages help, without evidence, the help people get is modest: oil, flour, rice, spaghetti, pair cans, biscuits and tea. Without water, medications, children’s food, soap or hygiene supplies.
“We just want to feed the children. This is wrong,” Abdullah Suleiman al-Sadudi said, one of the displaced inhabitants.
Panic broke out in Rafah when thousands of desperate people flooded the point, breaking the Israeli military lines. Three killed, and dozens were injured.
Philippe Lazzarini from UNRWA sentenced the GHF’s scheme as “undomable, chaotic and dangerous,” while the Head of the WFP Cindy McCain said that the help is not stealing Hamas, but hungry people.
GHF is additionally shaken when His Executive Director of Jake Wood resigned the day before the mission begins, saying that the organization could not act in accordance with humanitarian principles. GHF has no experience in the distribution of help in hunger zones, nor financial sources are not clear.
While dozens of children die of hunger, GHF’s help model only deepens the crisis, warn the humanitarians.
