The tense situation in Gaza

Last week tens of thousands of Palestinians gathered at the GHF distribution points, hoping to get hold of one of the few packages available before they go out. In the past three days, Palestinian authorities and eyewitnesses have accused Israeli armed forces of shoting dozens of civilians near one of the auxiliary locations in Rafah.

fleeting security and growing international criticism

On Monday and Tuesday, the Israeli military stated that he had given up "warning shots" in the direction of "suspicious" that approached a military post, and the military checked reports on victims. On Sunday, during the first fatal shots, the military said that it had not been fired on civilians "close or within" of the distribution location, even if a military source had admitted that Israeli armed forces shot from the location about one kilometer away.

With growing international pressure, there are some important points about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the current help situation to consider.

Food situation in Gaza

Israel had stopped all humanitarian aid at the beginning of March, whereby Government representatives explained that their goal was to force Hamas to accept new ceasefire conditions and to released hostages that were taken during the militant group on October 7, 2023. This stop led to no supply to the area for 11 weeks, which the 2.1 million people in Gaza continued to fall into a deep hunger crisis. A supported UN report at the end of April warns that one of five people by hunger threatened and that the entire Gaza strip is closer to a famine.

The role of the GHF

The GHF is a private, non -profit organization founded with the support of Israel and the USA to take over the distribution of aid in Gaza. Israel had previously claimed that Hamas was part of humanitarian aid that was intended for civilians. The GHF uses private military entrepreneurs for security measures and aims to replace traditional methods of auxiliary distribution in Gaza with humanitarian organizations.

On Tuesday, the organization confirmed that their work continued “full of travel” and that they had delivered millions of meals in pre -packed boxes to Palestinians. "In such a complex and volatile work environment as Gaza, such a safe, direct and large -scale auxiliary delivery is unprecedented," said the GHF in an explanation.

Current developments and international reactions

In the past few days there has not been enough food for everyone they need. Tens of thousands of Palestinians were forced to seek help from a small number of locations - while some lucky ones were able to get a relief, the results were catastrophic for most. The Palestinian authorities reported that more than 60 people were killed by Israeli forces near a GHF aid location in the past three days, while official reports of injuries were added.

The international community has encountered the incidents with great concern. UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres expressed his dismay about the reports of deaths and injuries and called for an immediate and independent examination of the events to fold the responsible persons.

These dramatic developments show the continuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the urgent need for a sustainable solution to support and protect the suffering civilian population.
