More than 170 non-governmental organizations are calling for the dismantling of a US- and Israeli-backed food aid plan in Gaza, claiming it endangers civilians. Since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began its operations, over 500 people have reportedly died near aid distribution points guarded by Israeli forces. The GHF's use of private security to deliver supplies bypasses a UN system deemed safe by other humanitarian groups. The UN labeled the GHF plan as unsafe, with NGOs urging Israel to revert to UN-coordinated aid. The GHF defended its aid delivery, but NGOs maintain it encourages dangerous conditions for civilians.
"Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families."
"The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has delivered more than 52 million meals in five weeks and said other humanitarian groups have had 'nearly all of their aid looted.'"
