10 starving civilians were killed and 62 others were wounded at so-called “aid distribution centers” in Rafah in the last two days, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza.

The IOF directly opened fire on starving Palestinians who gathered to receive aid in Rafah. The Government Media Office stated that these centers turned into death traps, engineered by the suspicious “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” (GHF), a mercenary organization operates under direct supervision of the occupation.

The Office noted that this constitutes a full-fledged war crime and that the centers are nothing but “false humanitarian cover for racist security schemes aimed at humiliating Palestinians, starving them, and even killing them.”

The Government Media Office held the IOF and GHF responsible, with the IOF opening fire on civilians and the GHF providing logistical and political cover for the massacre.

Further, the Government Media Office affirmed that the IOF is using food as a weapon of war and political blackmail. They held GHF responsible for not only enabling the massacre, but also amplifying the occupation’s narrative and misleading international opinion. They called on the UN and UNCS to immediately halt these crimes, and called on the free people of the world to take immediate action to break the siege, urgent them to reject all forms of complicity with the occupation and establish independent and safe relief routes that preserve human dignity and prevent massacres.

They stated:
“We categorically reject any aid distribution projects that pass through the occupation or its functional institutions. We warn against attempts to legitimize “buffer zones” as humanitarian corridors, as they are disguised genocide traps.”
“The continuation of international silence regarding these crimes constitutes shameful complicity. It perpetuates the policy of impunity that has long encouraged the occupation to commit massacres. We remind that deliberate starvation constitutes a form of genocide, according to Article II of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.”

Gaza humanitarian coordinator disputes US claims about aid delivery to the Gaza Strip
——
While the US State Department announced that 8,000 food boxes, equal to 462,000 meals, were distributed on Tuesday through the US-Israeli Gaza ‘Humanitarian’ Foundation, Gaza humanitarian coordinator Eyad Amawi told Drop Site News that only 7 trucks arrived—barely enough for a single camp.

“Eight thousand food boxes would require more than 7 trucks to deliver,” he said.

Amawi called the effort “symbolic and superficial,” adding that Gaza needs at least 600 aid trucks daily to meet the needs of over 2 million people.
