UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the new aid distribution system for Gaza as "inherently unsafe," citing that over 400 Palestinians have died while seeking food. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which operates independently of the UN and NGOs, is backed by Israeli and U.S. support. Critics argue this structure allows Israel to weaponize food access, as Hamas disputes the claims of aid diversion. Guterres urged for political courage to execute a ceasefire and stressed the importance of safe, dependable food access during the humanitarian crisis.
"People are being killed simply trying to feed themselves and their families. The search for food must never be a death sentence."
"It is time to find the political courage for a ceasefire in Gaza."
The UN has said the new aid system was a way for Israeli forces to use food as a weapon against Palestinians.
GHF, supported by Israel and the U.S., has faced criticism for bypassing the UN and other NGOs, making aid distribution dangerous.
