Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in Gaza Amid Controversial Aid Operations

A coalition of more than 170 NGOs and charities is calling for the immediate termination of the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, citing its role in a ‘killing field’ where civilians seeking food have been repeatedly targeted. Reports indicate that Israeli soldiers have admitted to firing on unarmed Palestinians waiting for aid, leading to hundreds of casualties around aid distribution sites. Despite denials from Israeli military officials regarding explicit orders to target civilians, the situation remains dire, with humanitarian agencies warning that the current aid distribution system may constitute a ‘death trap.’ International bodies, including the UN, have condemned the ongoing violence and lack of effective aid, stressing the urgent need for a cease-fire to prevent further losses among the civilian population.
