Humanitarian aid and international accusations
The distribution of aid in Gaza remains problematic. Since the end of May, this process has been taken over by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an organization supported by the United States and Israel. The UN refuses to collaborate with GHF, and the international humanitarian community has harshly criticized this system.
Amnesty International has denounced a “militarized system ” by which “Israel continues to use the starvation of civilians as a war weapon against Palestinians. “
Mahmoud Bassal also accused the Israeli army of not allowing rescue teams to intervene in several neighborhoods in the city of Gaza, where it is believed that dozens of people are trapped.
For his part, the spokesman of the Israeli army, Effie Defrin, said that “Terrorist infrastructures are destroyed systematically and thoroughly ”while the Israeli forces “I maintain a stable position on the ground ”especially in the east of Gaza, where they take place “high intensity operations ”.
Due to the restrictions imposed by Israel and the situation in the field, the France-Prese Agency (AFP) states that it cannot independently verify the statements made by the organizations operating in the Gaza strip.
