UN says at least 1,760 people killed while seeking aid in Gaza
Since 27 May, and as of 13 August, we have recorded that at least 1,760 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid 994 in the vicinity of GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) sites and 766 along the routes of supply convoys. Most of these killings were committed by the Israeli military.
Last month, as part of its wind-down of international food and medical aid, the United States destroyed 500 metric tonnes of emergency food aid in the United Arab Emirates.
Over 60,000 tonnes of emergency food aid have remained stockpiled in warehouses around the world due to the shutdown of USAID.
Meanwhile, Israel with US and European Union support has been systematically starving the nearly two million remaining Palestinians in besieged Gaza.

Gaza has become the most dangerous place for humanitarian workers to be in. We have seen systematic attacks on aid convoys, humanitarian trucks, warehouses, premises. So for us, refusing to comply with providing private information about our staff, its natural.

Israel uses bureaucratic measures to stop NGOs from delivering aid to Gaza: Oxfam
Most major international NGOs since the second of March have been virtually unable to deliver a single truck of life-saving supplies, and we have millions of dollars of food, medicine and essential goods from multiple NGOs that are just standing there in the regional borders, just waiting to get in.

The aid drops, which are not only ineffective but dangerous, just create chaos. They cause more injuries. Its just a never-ending cycle of trauma and injuries for the Palestinian people, which could easily be changed if Israel would facilitate the movement of our trucks inside. We have roads. We have trucks. Everything is ready.

Israels aim is to dismantle the humanitarian system in Gaza
There is aid sitting all around the boundary between Israel and Gaza that is not being allowed in.
Weve had a couple of trucks in to Gaza, but really, its just a drop in the ocean."
"There are these GHF sites, which are slaughter masquerading as aid, which create mass casualty incidents, which create more injuries for us to treat with limited resources.

Men shoved and pushed, children cried, and women trembled from fear and exhaustion. Just a small minority managed to lay their hands on some aid. Some tried to steal from those who had made it. The vast majority myself included went back home empty-handed.
Aid delivery
At one point, two trucks arrived and dumped the aid on the ground in a degrading manner. Anyone who tried to approach was met with gunfire from the Israeli soldiers. Eventually, an Israeli soldier announced over a loudspeaker, Now you can get the aid, and the crowd rushed towards the boxes.

"Naders death was registered in the grim statistic of Palestinians killed at aid distribution sites, which today stands at 1,500. To the world, he was just a number to me, he was a good man who had harmed no one but always helped others he was robbed of everything by the occupation, his home, his job, his dreams of travelling and working in design and video editing. His family is now doomed to starve."
