Israeli forces carried out another massacre at an aid center in southern Gaza run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Witnesses described Israeli tanks shooting toward the crowds with machine guns and soldiers sniping aid-seekers in the head.
Nasser Hospital, the last medical center still operating in southern Gaza, is threatened with shutting down as the Israeli army tightens its siege on the area. The hospital warns that fuel shortages will turn the facility into a “silent graveyard.”
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has taken over the aid system in Gaza on behalf of the Israeli army by cultivating a local network of companies and organizations to collaborate in its operations. The organizations that refused have been shut down.
After the U.S.-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation accused Hamas of attacking two American employees at its distribution center, eyewitnesses and local journalists say the GHF fired grenades on the crowd first before aid-seekers threw them back at them.
Ahmad, a 16-year-old boy in Gaza, leaves his home at 3 a.m., armed with an iron hammer and a utility knife. But Ahmad is not a soldier, nor a fighter. He seeks only one thing: to obtain a sack of flour. And to do so, he must be prepared to die.
Palestinians in Gaza are watching the skies as missiles fall on Tel Aviv instead of them. While many think Israel can be defeated, others are left frustrated that Iran did not intervene and come to Gaza’s aid sooner.
Palestinians refer to the locations where the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is distributing aid as “massacre sites” and “death traps” due to near-daily killings. But they are forced to visit because there is no other way to get food.
Netanyahu admits Israel is arming gangs and clan members in Gaza to counter Hamas’s influence, and new evidence shows Israel is using them to loot aid and implement its displacement plan. In response, the Hamas government set up the “Arrow Unit.”
Journalists in Gaza know they could be killed at any moment by the Israeli army for telling the truth. It doesn’t stop them from doing their jobs.
The Israeli army has killed over 100 Palestinians at the U.S.-run aid distribution centers in Gaza in under two weeks. By now, it follows a predictable script, either denying the massacre or claiming soldiers fired on “suspicious” individuals.
