The United Nations Human Rights Office said it had registered at least 613 Palestinian murders, both at controversial assistance points managed by the Israeli and American Foundation Gaza (GHF) and near humanitarian convoys.
“This is a figure on June 27. Since then … There have been other incidents,” journalists Ravina Shamdasani, the spokesman for the High Commission of Rights Human on Friday, Friday.
The OHCHR said that 509 of the 613 people were killed near the GHF distribution points. The Gaza Ministry of Health has brought the number of deaths to more than 650 and those injured exceeding 4,000.
The GHF began to distribute food packages limited to Gaza at the end of May, supervising a new model of deliveries which, according to the UN, is neither impartial nor neutral, while murders continue around the organizations of the organization, which rights defense groups have criticized as “human slaughterhouses”.
Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, said that they “had recorded evidence of civilians deliberately killed by the Israeli army”.
“More than 600 Palestinian civilians were killed in these centers,” he said. “Some have been slaughtered by Israeli elite shooters, others were killed by drone attacks, air strikes or shooting families looking for help.”
Medical sources have told Tel Aviv Tribune that Israeli forces had killed 51 Palestinians in Gaza since dawn on Friday.
In Khan Younis, in the south of Gaza, the Israeli army killed at least 15 Palestinians following a series of deadly attacks against fortune tents in the Al-Mawasi coastal area, which was once classified as a humanitarian security zone by Israel. The attacks were relentless.
The Israeli army has also published new threats of forced displacement for several regions of Khan Younis. Warnings for eastern and center of the city parts include the area where the Nasser hospital is located.
‘I lost everything’
A mother, whose son was killed when he was trying to take food, told Tel Aviv Tribune that she “had lost everything” after her death.
“My son was a supplier, I totally depended on him,” she said, adding: “He was the pillar and the basics of our life.”
The woman called the aid centers for the Help of the GHF “Traps de mort”.
“We are forced to go there out of despair of food; We are hungry, “she said.
“Instead of returning by wearing a bag of flour, the people themselves are brought back as a body,” she added.
The World Health Organization said on Friday that the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis worked as “a massive trauma service” due to an influx of patients injured around GHF sites.
Referring to the hospital medical staff, Rik Peeperkorn, who went to the occupied West Bank and Gaza, told journalists in Geneva: “They have already seen for weeks, daily injuries … (the) majority from the so-called food distribution sites.”
Peeperkorn said that health workers at Nasser Hospital and the testimonies of family members and friends of those who injured confirmed that the victims had tried to access the GHF sites.
He told the heartbreaking boxes of a 13 -year -old boy shot in his head, as well as a 21 -year -old with a bullet in his neck, which made him paraplegic.
According to the UN, only 16 of the 36 Gaza hospitals remain partially operational, their collective capacity greater than 1,800 beds – fully insufficient for overwhelming medical needs.
The Israeli army has targeted health institutions and medical workers in the besieged enclave since the start of its war against Gaza in October 2023.
“The health sector is systematically dismantled,” Peeperkorn said in a separate declaration Thursday, citing shortages of medical supplies, equipment and staff.
GHF condemned
The UN, humanitarian organizations and other NGOs have repeatedly criticized GHF for its management of aid distribution and attacks around its distribution sites.
More than 130 humanitarian organizations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty International, demanded the immediate closure of GHF on Tuesday, accusing it of facilitating attacks against hungry Palestinians.
NGOs said Israeli and armed groups have “regularly” opened fire to civilians trying to access food.
The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), which was distributing aid for decades before the GHF, called for surveys on the murders and injuries of the Palestinians trying to access food through GHF.
UNRWA noted that even if it operated around 400 sites across the territory, the GHF has only set up four “mega -sitis”, three in the south and one in the center of Gaza – none in the north, where the conditions are most serious.
The GHF denied that incidents surrounding people killed or injured on its sites that have occurred involving its entrepreneurs, without providing proof, rejecting an investigation by the Associated Press who said that certain members of the United States staff fired without discrimination to the Palestinians.
A recent report from the Israeli point of sale Haaretz detailed Israeli soldiers, in their words, confirming that Israeli troops have deliberately shot unarmed Palestinians in search of Aid to Gaza after being “ordered” to do so by their commanders.
The War of Israel in Gaza killed more than 57,000 Palestinians, according to the Enclave Ministry of Health, while moving most of the population by more than two million times, triggering a widespread hunger through a punishing blockage and leaving a large part of the ruined territory.
The war began after fighters led by Hamas crossed in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and bringing 251 captives to Gaza, according to Israeli accounts.
