AidIsrael 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
"The legitimacy of US aid schemes has been questioned after a US military contractor working on a controversial distribution initiative in Gaza has reportedly turned to a company with Israeli ties"
"Safe Reach Solutions (SRS), a US-based private security company run by a former CIA officer, recently signed a deal with a firm called Three Brothers...a company accused of having long-standing ties to the Israeli security forces"
nailing it
At least six people were shot and killed by Israeli forces while trying to reach an aid distribution point west of Rafah in the south of the enclave.
Former Prime Minister has blasted the countrys political leadership and the conduct of its military, saying he is no longer able to defend against accusations of war crimes.
pointed to Israels 11-week blockade of humanitarian into and the soaring number of killed.
What is it if not a he asked rhetorically.
Heba Jabr, 29, who sleeps in a tent in southern Gaza with her husband and their two children, has been struggling to find food.
Dying by bombing is much better than dying from the humiliation of hunger and being unable to provide bread and water for your children, she told AFP news agency.
We don't have a car or medical insurance, and my mom has had three septic surgeries in the past year. We're simply drowning.
Anything helps us *survive*. We're going into next month with $500 to our name and $1000 rent. Please help us.

This is not set up to meet the needs of people. It very much feels like its been designed to locate people into the south of Gaza into an area thats been designated by the Israelis as a humanitarian zone, as opposed to trying to meet the needs of a very desperate population.

SoDMA Stands by Moqokori Medical Aid Amid Viral Criticism
So Israel is trumpeting about HHHamas looting the little aid that has been allowed in. To be precise, Israel is now letting a trickle of aid in, in order to secure weapon shipments from the West.
Guess what, Israel lied about Hamas.
Israel has been paying and protecting gang leaders, associated to ISIS, to loot the aid so that it does not benefit Palestinians after all. They've been doing that all along.
Some media reports it. This is one example

In fact, only those who move southwards will get aid, while those who are in central and northern Gaza will not.
People who move southwards would have to make a very long journey under very dangerous circumstances. They are also very concerned that they would be relocated and would not be able to return home.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has released photos of a group of locals who received aid parcels from a distribution centre in one of the areas under Israeli control.
But its very difficult for people to get aid from the recently formed aid distribution hubs in southern Gaza.
Many Palestinians are questioning the neutrality of the foundation and the use of aid as a political tool to control the movement of the population.
