The alert has occurred almost a month since the Israeli “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” and supported by the United States “began to operate on May 27 in Gaza.
Its food distribution points have been frequently associated with confusion and shooting while the desperate and hungry gasans rush to recover the supplies, said spokesperson for the Human Rights Office Thameen Al-Keetan.
“The militarized humanitarian assistance mechanism of Israel is in contradiction with international standards on the distribution of aid,” he insisted. “” The armament of food for civilians, in addition to restricting or preventing their access to survival services, constitutes a war crime and, in certain circumstances, may constitute elements of other crimes under international law. »»
In its last urgency update, The United Nations Coordination Office, OCHAreported that “dozens of people of all ages are killed and injured every day” in the broken enclave.
“The humanitarian operations of a sufficient scale are not facilitated, not leaving the critical needs of those who have so far survived,” he said.
Peeled or shot
In Geneva, in the meantime, OhchrAl-Keetan explained that the victims of the private aid hub were either “dissected or slaughtered” by the Israeli defense forces. They endangered civilians and contributed to the “catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza,” he said.
At least 93 people were also said to have been killed by the Israeli army while he was trying to approach the few remaining convoys of the UN and other aid partners still operating in Gaza.
In a previous alert, the United Nations Human Rights Office condemned the possible summary execution of Palestinian staff associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation by armed men who have been affiliated in Hamas.
“These murders must end immediately, and officials were to report,” The United Nations office said in a statement.
Weakest
The OCHCL spokesman noted that women and children, as well as the elderly and disabled people continue to face “multiple challenges” accessing food in Gaza today.
The looting of help convoys is now commonplace in Gaza after more than 20 months of daily Israeli bombing due to an almost total blockade on humanitarian supplies, including food, fuel and drugs.
The result is that the most vulnerable individuals in Gaza are unable to access any of this diverted aid, said the United Nations Human Rights Office UN News.
To date, at least 3,000 Palestinians have been injured in incidents associated with aid centers and looting.
“The desperate and hungry people in Gaza continue to face the inhuman choice of starving or risking being killed while trying to get food,” said the United Nations Human Rights Office.
Current help obstacles
Although the UN and the other aid providers still work in Gaza, they depend on the Israeli authorities to facilitate their missions. Saturday and Sunday, only eight requests out of 16 of humanitarian operations were approvedreported the aid teams.
“Half of [the missions] Were refused squarely, hampering water and fuel monitoring, the provision of nutrition services and the recovery of organizations, “said Alessandra Vellucci, director of the Information Service at the UN Geneva.
His comments followed a warning from the highest official of the UN help in Gaza on Sunday which described disastrous scenes and “carnage”.
“It’s armed hunger. It is a forced trip. It is a death sentence for people who try to survive. All combined, it seems that it is the erasure of the Palestinian life of Gaza, ” said the OCHA head of the OCHA in the occupied Palestinian territory, Jonathan Whittall.
Telecommunications have now been restored through Gaza after repairing damaged fiber cables this weekend.
“For the first time in days, humanitarian teams have had more than 24 hours of relatively stable connectivity – something that is essential to coordinate emergency relief and save lives”, ” Ochha said in the update on Monday evening.
But without urgent fuel deliveries, telecommunications “will leave very soon,” warned the United Nations wing.
“Fuel is also necessary to maintain the emergency rooms in progress, electrical ambulances and exploit the water and pumping desalination stations,” he explained.
“Currently, the teams on the ground are rationing the little fuel and the work to recover stocks stored inside Gaza, in areas that are difficult to reach. »»
