What we need right now is an immediate ceasefire, complete unfettered access and every gate open to feed people and stop this catastrophe from happening.
If we dont do that, its going to be a humanitarian catastrophe like none other.
Cindy McCain, the executive director of the World Food Programme (WFP)

Witnesses recount deadly Israeli attack on aid seekers in Rafah
The army opened fire from drones and tanks. Chaos broke out, and the area was filled with martyrs and wounded. I dont understand why they call people to the aid centres and then open fire on them.
What are we supposed to do
Rightly so. What sort of 'mediators' are and to not make clear, that ISR-US positions are unlawful
I do understand the concerns of pro-PAL folks and why they verbally attacked me, after I suggested to hand over the PoW/hostages to the ICRC/UN, but y'all have to understand, you can't negotiate with phoney US guys! Exchange the hostages with doctors in ISR prison, and the world stage belongs to you! Save your people!

New Gaza aid distribution backed by Israel, U.S. met with chaos, gunfire in its 1st week
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started distributing aid this week, but it was off to a rough start as desperate Palestinians scrambled to get food after weeks of delays. The group denies any reports of violence and says it will push forward with opening more distribution point...

Palestinians being killed while trying to secure one meal for their children
Were talking about one kilo of flour, a couple of bags of pasta, a couple of cans of fava beans, and its not nutritious. Its not enough for a family in Gaza nowadays.
Hind Khoudary
US-Israeli aid sites in Gaza are mass death traps, not humanitarian relief points
"We confirm to the entire world that what is happening is a systematic and malicious use of aid as a tool of war employed to blackmail starving civilians and forcibly gather them in exposed killing points, managed and monitored by the occupation army and funded and politically covered by the occupation and the US administration, which bears full moral and legal responsibility for these crimes
Israeli forces have opened fire near an aid site run by a US-backed group in Rafah, killing 30 Palestinians.
115 others were wounded.

"Ethics, in their proper role, are not ends in themselves. They are expressions of deeper moral values codified principles that guide our actions in alignment with what we believe to be right and good. But ethics can become unmoored from the values they are meant to serve, and when they do, they can lead not just to confusion but to complicity in harm."
A must read by
It is obvious that putting the task of distributing food and aid to the people of Gaza in the hands of the Israeli government and American mercenaries has been a terrible idea and a complete failure.
Opening fire on starving people as they desperately seek food is a level of criminality that cannot be tolerated.
Israel is using aid as bait to corral people and push them out of the north and into militarised zones.
Its about humiliating people, and its about controlling the population. This has nothing to do with stopping starvation.
Michael Fakhri, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food
Since the start of that invasion in February 2022, Russia has made more than three times as much money by exporting hydrocarbons than Ukraine has received in allocated by its allies.Sanctions, anyone

"The GHF restricts aid to only one part of Gaza while leaving other dire needs unmet, UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher said at the Security Council last week. It makes aid conditional on political and military aims. It makes starvation a bargaining chip. It is a cynical sideshow. A deliberate distraction. A fig leaf for further violence and displacement.
The UN and other humanitarian organisations have refused to work with the GHF on the basis that it would compromise values and put their teams and those receiving aid at risk. They have said the GHF can be used by Israel to forcibly displace the population by requiring them to move near a few distribution hubs or else face starvation. The UN has also opposed the use of facial recognition to vet those receiving aid."
Israeli settlers block aid trucks enroute to Gaza
Activists and Israeli media published video on social media this morning showing settlers blocking the road in front of aid trucks near the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom to Israelis) crossing between Gaza and Israel.
According to Israeli media, activists from the Tzav 9 movement and families of prisoners are blocking the passage of aid trucks into Gaza.

How the West is helping Russia to fund its war on Ukraine
the western world spends three times as much money on russian oil as it does on supporting ukraine.
We should be ashamed of ourselves.
What would I do, if I was in (political/military) power/charge after n- false claims and fake ceasefire proposals, I would hand over the PoW/hostages to the UN/ICRC, let arrest traitors in the , and would arm the civilian population with whatever is available. I would NOT negotiate with genocidal entities.They are illegal in my land, their army must withdraw asap, , , have the obligation to support flow at the crossings, acc to international law.
Canadian charity pauses Gaza aid after U.S.-backed group takes over distribution
Several Canadian humanitarian groups are calling for sanctions on Israel, something the federal government suggested last week could be coming. Now, one group says it won't deliver 17 "fully loaded" aid trucks out of fear that Palestinians won't get safe access.

Africa: When Aid Shrinks, Execution Must Rise: New Times The announcement of deep cuts in US development assistance has cast a long shadow over Africa's infrastructure ambitions.

Israel kills 10 Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza in 48 hours
At least 10 Palestinians desperately seeking aid from a contentious and heavily criticised United States-backed organisation have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza over the last 48 hours.
Food needs to be distributed in multiple forms, and at multiple sites across all Gaza governorates. This is the only way to restore order and prevent mass starvation.
OCHA
Israel allowed a trickle of aid into Gaza some nutrition and medical supplies, as well as flour but banned most other items, including fuel, cooking gas, shelter and hygiene products.
They also imposed the condition that we could only deliver flour to bakeries and not directly to families. This required people to face large crowds to collect bread from a limited number of bakeries daily
OCHA
Israeli occupation forces have opened fire with tanks and machine guns on desperate Palestinian refugees trying to get some of the tiny amount of food Israel has allowed into Gaza. Israel is using the aid as bait to draw Palestinians...into concentration camps in the south, ethnically cleansing the rest of Gaza and forcing the population into prisons controlled by US mercenaries"
International aid is still stuck outside Rafah crossing
"The Front views these centers as components of an integrated political-military apparatus aimed at emptying the Strip of its inhabitants...blocking aid from reaching residential areas to force people to converge on specific, fully occupation-controlled points. These spots then become gateways for mass expulsion and detention, a soft-focus remake of Nazi concentration camps that Netanyahu is trying to replicate"
Eloquently put by the PFLP
