According to UN agencies, aid groups and analysts, nearly 22 months of Israel’s devastating war in Gaza, limited food assistance in Israel is allowed by Israel.
Reports show that frustrated Palestinians have seized important goods through frustrated Palestinians who have endangered their lives, robbing groups or turning in chaos.
Despite the recent international screams, nutritional children were born with images, which has led to inadequate, aid flow, its distribution has caused deep trouble.
Representatives of AFP on the ground regularly observe the scenes of sheer frustration, in which the crowds are crowded with food convoys or uncertain places of rescue aircraft.
On Thursday, in the Central Gaza al -Zawada, aeroparable palettes were subjected to chaos when the Palestinians infiltrated the packages from each other among the clouds of dust and tore the packages.
“Hunger has forced people to activate each other. People are fighting each other with knives.”
The serious situation has forced the World Food Program (WFP) to change its procedure. Drivers have been instructed to stop their desired locations and allow people to help themselves, a move that has proven to be widely ineffective in controlling chaos.
“A truck wheel crushed my head almost, and I was injured in the bag,” “in the North Gaza Strip, in the Zikim area, a bag of flour was picked up on his head and a man said.
A true tragedy
In the morning, Muhammad Abu Taha went to a division near Rafah in the south to join the queue and preserve his place. “Thousands were already waiting, all hungry, flour bags or little rice and lentils,” he said.
The 42 -year -old said, “Suddenly, we heard the firing voices ….. There was no way to escape. People started running, pushing each other, children, women, the elderly and stirring them.” “This scene was really regrettable: blood, wounded, dead everywhere.”
The United Nations said Friday that about 1,1400 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip waiting for aid from May 27, the majority of the Israeli army said on Friday.
The Israeli army denies any goals, when people approach its positions only “warning shots”.
International organizations have condemned the sanctions imposed by Israeli authorities over the distribution of aid in Gaza for months, including refusal to impose border crossing permits, slow customs clearance, limited access locations, and dangerous routes.
On Tuesday, in Zakim, the Israeli military “changed the loading plans for the WFP, and unexpectedly mixed the cargo. The convoy was forced to depart without proper security,” a senior UN official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
In the south of Gaza, in Carim Shalom Border Crossing, “There are two possible routes to reach our warehouses [in central Gaza]”An NGO official said, who also preferred to be anonymous.” One is quite safe, the other is the scene of regular fighting and looting, and this is what we force to take. “
‘Daronin experience’
According to numerous human -friendly sources and experts, groups robbed some aid – who often attack warehouses directly – and turn it to traders who re -sell it at high prices.
“It becomes such a Darunian social experience,” said Mohammad Shahad, a colleague of the European Council for Foreign Relations (ECFR).
“People who are most hungry in the world and do not have the energy must chase the truck and wait for hours and hours in the sun and try people with muscle and fight flour bags,” he said.
Emergency coordinator of the Border (MSF) in Gaza without doctors, Jean Guy Wataks, added: “We are in an ultra -capitalist system, where traders and corrupt groups send children to life and organs at distribution places or during looting. This has become a new profession.”
He added that this food is then sold in Gaza City markets for “people who can still be tolerated”, where the price of 25kg of flour can exceed $ 400.
Undefined
Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of UN aid, which has been mostly providing aid since the October 2023 invasion of the Palestinian group.
Israeli authorities have used the allegation to justify the total blockade imposed on Gaza between March and May, and then the establishment of a private organization supported by Israel and the United States, the Gaza Humani Foundation (GHF), recognizes the UN agencies.
However, for more than two million Gaza inhabitants, GHF has only four distribution points, which the United Nations has described as a “death trap”.
On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office claimed, “Hamas … Palestinians have been shooting aid from the Gaza population several times.”
But according to senior Israeli military officials with The New York Times on July 26, Israel “never found evidence” that the group had “systematically stolen aid” from the United Nations.
Shehda said that the war with Israel was weakened, which has seen most of its senior leadership killed, Hamas today is made of “primarily decentralized sovereign cells”.
Rescue workers told AFP that during the ceasefire before the March blockade, Gaza Police – which included many members of Hamas – helped secure humanitarian convoy, but the current power space is promoting insecurity and looting.
“UN agencies and humanitarian organizations have repeatedly called on Israeli authorities to facilitate and protect aid convoys and storage sites in our warehouses across the Gaza Strip,” said Bashara Khalidi, a policy lead in Oxfam.
He added, “These calls have been largely ignored.”
‘All kinds of criminal activities’
The Israeli military has also been accused of allowing the Palestinian criminal network to be equipped in the fight against Hamas and allow them to rob them.
“Since the beginning of the war, the real the aid has been made by criminal groups under the clock of Israeli forces, and they have been allowed to work in the proximity of the Carim Shalom Crossing Point in Gaza,” Jonathan Whital, the Chief of the Palestinian territories, called the United Nations.
According to Israeli and Palestinian media reports, Yasser is working in the southern region under Israeli control, an armed group called Famous Forces, led by Yasser Abu Shabab.
The ECFR has described Abu Shabab as “leading a criminal gang working in the Rafah area, who is accused of robbing a large -scale relief trucks”.
Israeli authorities themselves admitted in June that they had armed Palestinian groups against Hamas, without a direct name, led by Abu Shabab.
Many members of the gang were involved in “all kinds of criminal activities, drug trafficking and such things,” said Michael Milshon, head of the Palestinian Studies Forum at the Moshe Dian Center at Tel Aviv University.
A humanitarian activist in Gaza said not to disclose, “None of this can happen in Gaza without the approval of the Israeli army.”
