US-backed Gaza aid operation is unsafe, killing people: UN chief
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that a US-backed aid operation in Gaza is inherently unsafe, giving a blunt assessment: It is killing people.
"People are being killed simply trying to feed themselves and their families. The search for food must never be a death sentence, Guterres told reporters

Pointing to the lack of accountability and the urgent need to change the current aid system, Doyle described the situation as another example of where Israel enjoys complete and utter impunity from any of the norms of war, of international law."
This has to be dismantled now, and the proper systems of delivery and distribution of aid set back up.
US- and Israeli-backed aid system in Gaza an abomination
Chris Doyle, director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding, has labelled the aid distribution system in Gaza that is run by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) an abomination and utter disgrace.
It is an inversion of all the global humanitarian principles about independence, impartiality and neutrality,

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation or aid deathtrap
Gazas new aid corridors have become deathtraps.
Hundreds of starving Palestinians have been killed and thousands more wounded while desperately trying to access vital aid via the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, with the UN accusing Tel Aviv of weaponising food.
This is shocking - but whether or not these reports are confirmed, needs to be disbanded and organisations allowed back into immediately.
GHF is killing more lives than it saves, it's disgusting

Hey zusammen, ich bin mal wieder richtig am Leiden. Mich hat der Eigenbedarf erwischt und ich muss meine Wohnung verlassen. Lustigerweise habe ich schon was neues aber der Vermieter will die Kaution + die erste Monatsmiete vor dem Einzug. Ich kann das mit meinem Lohn einfach nicht handeln und brauche dringend Hilfe.. Ich hasse es nach Geld zu fragen aber es geht gerade nicht anders.
Zielbetrag sind 1500, ich habe bis zum 15.07 Zeit das zu bezahlen. Jeder Cent hilft! Danke an alle die Helfen :(

Hey everyone, I'm really struggling again. I've been hit with a notice to vacate due to the landlord's personal use, and I have to leave my apartment. Funny enough, Ive already found a new place, but the new landlord wants the deposit and the first months rent upfront before I can move in.
I simply cant cover that with my salary and urgently need help. I hate asking for money, but right now I dont have another option.
My goal is 1500, and I have until July 15th to pay it. Every cent helps! Thank you so much to everyone who supports me :(

Dehumanisation, chaos and death cannot become the new norm in Gaza
The US and Israeli-backed aid distribution system in Gaza has become a killing field, says UNWRA chief Philippe Lazzarini.
Instead of orderly food distribution, this system brings dehumanisation, chaos and death. This cannot become the new norm, he said in a post.
This is all part and parcel of systematic genocide.

Bombs are falling on tents, on families, on those with nowhere left to run.
People are being killed simply trying to feed themselves. The search for food must never be a death sentence.
Antonio Guterres
The Israeli occupations use of drugs as a soft weapon in a dirty war against civilians, and its exploitation of the blockade to smuggle these substances as aid and assistance, constitute a war crime and a grave violation of international humanitarian law.

Not all aid lines end in bloodshed. In northern Gaza, coordination between Palestinian tribes has allowed for safer, locally secured distribution points. No shooting. No bombings. Just food and a shred of dignity.
In coordination with UN agencies and other international aid groups, Israel is allowing 100 trucks back into Gaza a day. This, after devastating scenes of crowds being shot at and hundreds being killed after Israeli attacks on aid distribution points run by US contractors.
Update on June 26, 2025 by , Organizer
"Dear friends and allies,
I owe you an update from the Gaza Soup Kitchen. But firstthank you. Thank you for being here, for pouring your heart into this with us and for us. None of this happens without you.
Yesterday, I thought we had good news. For once, it seemed the aid trucks made it safely to the right organizations, thanks to a remarkable effort by families who stepped up to protect the convoys from looters and opportunists.
But this morning, the government announced it would block againclaiming that aid reaching civilians somehow helps militants. Do you see how absurd this is When aid flows in an orderly way, it reduces Palestinian sufferingand that undermines Israels cruel objective of using and chaos as tools of war.
Make no mistake: Israel thrives on the images of desperate people fighting over scraps. Some looters are simply desperate others, emboldened by Israel, have been weaponized to disrupt aid, drive up prices, and deepen the misery.
So what does this mean for us For starters, were finalizing plans to open our tenth kitchen. Yesten. Our operations have doubled since March because the need has doubled. Other aid actors have shut down, paused, or couldnt figure out how to operate under siege. But we didnt stop. We wont.
And pleasedirect your frustration where it belongs: at , not the aid organizations. Groups like are still on the ground, delivering healthcare, education, and water under impossible conditions.
Prices in are unpredictable. One day we can afford staples, and the next day, the prices skyrocket. Vendors are charging as much as 40% in transfer fees because cash is so scarce. Its supply, demand, and unfortunately, a bit of gougingcapitalism under siege.
Our team has been cooking dishes we havent made in months. Just recently, we served Romanya and Damsat Adas (lentil stew). Were also rotating lentil stews, white bean stews, andwhen we can source enoughrice-based meals to feed entire neighborhoods.
People know to find us in Al-Sheikh Radwan, Al-Shati (Beach Camp), Al-Nasr, and Al-Rimal. Our northernmost spot is Al-Saftaway, and our westernmost is literally on the Gaza piercooking right on the dock.
Beyond food, our water trucks are out every single morning, delivering clean drinking water to shelters and neighborhoods. We maintain a steady presence in Nuseirat with both water and a pop-up kitchen there. That location runs with the help of a trusted partner team since we dont have a full-time crew based there.
Our medical point stays busyserving an average of 80 patients a day. Primary care, dental work, physical therapy, wound care, and a small but vital pharmacy we stock regularly. Nurses are changing dressings, soothing pain, and holding it down in ways few ever see.
We also continue delivering hot meals daily to two of Gazas still-functioning hospitals. For the past six weeks, these meals have been a plate or container of baked pies and pizzaswarm, filling, and made with dignity. Because even patients and exhausted medical staff deserve a meal that feels like home, not just survival.
Meanwhile, our flexible initiatives continuesmall but mighty. Just yesterday, we handed out new clothes to over three dozen children sheltering in a school. This is led by Chef Mahmouds widow, Ms. Alaa, alongside my mother. A few days ago, the same crew prepared falafel wraps, produce packs, and molokhia leaves for families in need.
And Ms. FatmaGod bless heris back in her classroom, teaching the little ones their ABCs. Her class has 20 bright-eyed students, eager to learn, to grow, and to hold onto some sense of childhood. The stories coming out of that tent classroom are both heartbreaking and profoundly beautiful.
Now, I know this sounds like the clich part, but hear me when I say itthis only works because of you.
You keep the Gaza Soup Kitchen running. You keep the lights on. You placed your trust in usour team, our stories, and our stubborn belief that even in the darkest moments, we can deliver hope with a bowl of soup, a bag of rice, a clean drink of water, or a fresh-baked pie.
When deep-pocketed organizations shut down in Gaza during the hour of greatest needwe stayed open. And not just openwe doubled our locations.
Please keep walking this path with us. Share our stories. Tag us. Mention us in your gatherings, your prayers, your summer eventseven if its as simple as a lemonade stand. (And shout out to the kids whove done just thatyou are giants among us.)
And to the souls who are fasting for Gaza right nowthank you. Thank you for refusing to let a vile, right-wing government weaponize your grief. Your humanity shines.
In sumud,
Hani"

At least 549 Palestinians killed seeking aid from US, Israeli distribution sites
The attacks at the death traps have also caused 4,066 injuries, and led to 39 missing people among starving Palestinian civilians.

Daily killings of aid seekers nothing short of a scandal for the whole world
The killings of more than 500 Palestinians near aid hubs in Gaza over the past month is a travesty and a global scandal, says academic Sami Al-Arian.
Every day people go there hoping that they can get some food so that they can feed their starving children and they end up dead, they end up injured, in a place where there is no medical facility in which they can even treat their injuries.
coverage warning: An estimated 15.7 million worldwide had not received any routine as of 2023 due to disruptions and . Experts believe recent cuts to global will make the situation worse.
Hamas is so desperate they disguise as women and children to "seize the aid."
/s
Israels Channel 12 news reported that the government has already halted aid deliveries to Gaza, with the pause to remain in place until the Israeli military presents its plan, "to prevent Hamas from seizing the aid."
A survivor of the Tuesday massacre at the GHF distribution point in Rafah said that shortly after the appointed distribution time, Israeli soldiers were near the road to the site, hunting people as if they were ducks.
At least 60 Palestinians were killed while trying to get aid in Gaza in the past 24 hours.
More than 500 have been killed since the US-and-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation took over distribution, a process condemned as a death trap by UN officials.

Disturbingly, people are given just 20-minute windows at the aid centres to get their hands on whatever is available, such as food parcels. Once that 20-minute period ends, shooting often starts. That is one of the reasons were seeing large numbers of people dying at these centres.
Despite the danger, people feel that they have to go to the sites. If they dont, their children will not eat.
Aid seekers given just 20 minutes at GHF-run sites to find supplies
Aid distribution centres run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) are set up very close to where Israeli forces are stationed, with their tanks, armoured vehicles and surrounding snipers. So when large crowds gather, they are vulnerable to Israeli fire.
