Gaza distributions have become sites of Murder | Genocide News
Aid sites run by a controversial US and Israeli-backed group in Gaza “have morphed into a laboratory of cruelty”, leading to crowds of people being shot, a charity has said.
In a new report, MSF – also known as Doctors Without Borders – said the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) locations have become scenes of “orchestrated killing”.
Raquel Ayora, one of the general directors of the charity, which provides medical aid in the besieged enclave, said: “In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.
“The GHF distribution sites masquerading as ‘aid’ have morphed into a laboratory of cruelty. This must stop now.”
MSF has called for the immediate dismantling of the GHF scheme, the restoration of the UN-coordinated aid delivery mechanism, and has urged governments as well as private donors to “suspend all financial and political support for the GHF”.
In an interview with GHF and the IDF on Wednesday, an IDF spokesperson claimed some accounts of shootings at aid sites are “fake news” and denied there is any genocide.
“I think that is completely false,” Nadav Shoshani said. But Israel has never acknowledged the deaths and killings of Palestinians, as they do not recognise them as humans.
