Israels militarised aid takeover creates absurd theatre in Gaza
Israel had created an absurd theatre in which desperate people are forced to risk their lives for parcels of food.
What needs to happen is for Israel to keep its hands off the distribution of humanitarian aid,
We need robust sanctions and a stop to Israels outrageous killing of starving people.
Mads Gilbert, an emergency medicine coordinator
Channel4 News presenter Krishnan Guru Murthy rattled an Israeli spokesman yesterday evening when he questioned him about the killings at aid distribution centres. David Mencer claimed it was Hamas killing Palestinan civilians and journalists. He accused Murthy of advocating for Hamas.
Richard C. H. Lenski, Lutheran pastor, comments on following Christ from (Lk 16:19-31,18:18-23). Some might actually have to sell their riches. Its better to be borne aloft my angels than to be cast into torment as was the rich man in the story of Lazarus.
How many people would insist on their identity as following in Christs footsteps without thinking anything about Lazarus
How can you kill the love of riches

Boston Consulting Group terminated its contract with GHF.
Theres the conventional wisdom says that the private sector is inherently more efficient when it comes to certain logistics, but this is a very specialised aid mechanism, delivery of food to starving people in a conflict zone, that should be left to the people and organisations that do this for a living, the neutral and impartial organisations like the United Nations.

Israel lured and killed 102 aid seekers in 8 days
The so-called aid distribution centres, which are located in exposed and dangerous red zones under the control of the occupation army, have turned into mass bloodbaths, luring starving civilians to them as a result of the crippling famine and the tightening siege.
They are then deliberately and coldly shot, in a scene that epitomises the malice of the project and exposes its true objectives.
At least 24 Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured in an Israeli attack on people waiting for aid in southern Gazas Rafah area at an aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is backed by Israel and the US, according to the enclaves Health Ministry.
AGAIN.
The use of starvation of civilians as a method of war is a war crime that the global community must urgently put an end to.

The phrase shooting fish in a barrel comes to mind as if the Gaza Strip werent enough of a barrel already.
To be sure, the idea of luring starving people to specific geographical points to facilitate Israels genocidal conquest is singularly diabolical.
And as the US persists in enabling Israels fish-in-a-barrel approach, any remotely moral world would refuse to stomach the arrangement any longer.

Today, three Palestinians have been killed and 35 wounded by Israeli fire near an aid distribution centre in the Gaza Strips southern city of Rafah.
If the Gaza Humanitarian Foundations Gaza debut is any indication, the militarised distribution of food will continue to provide opportunities for mass killing as crowds of starving Palestinians gather around aid hubs.

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.

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!

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
