Despite the GHF, saying that he had distributed 8,000 food boxes on Tuesday, amounting to 462,000 meals, Tel Aviv Tribune Hind Al-Khourdary correspondent said that rations would not do much to keep families for a long time.
Khoudary described a typical box with 4 kg (8.8 lb) of flour, a few bags of pasta, two cans of beans, a pack of tea bags and cookies. Other food plots contained lenses and soup in small quantities.
“We are dying of famine. We have to feed our children who want to eat. What can we do else? I could do anything to feed them,” a Palestinian father told Tel Aviv Tribune. “We saw people running, and we followed them, even if it meant to take a risk, and it was frightening. But fear is not worse than famine. ”
Despite his best efforts, when Abu Sa’da, the mother of three, arrived in Rafah, it was too late.
Abu Sa’da described experience as a deep humiliation. She was filled with shame and inferiority.
“I covered my face with my scarf all the time. I didn’t want anyone who recognizes me to get a food package, ”she added.
However, Abu Sa’da says she would do him again if necessary.
Limited water and electricity
Water is rare and electricity is almost nonexistent in Gaza, which makes people almost impossible for people to use the limited supplies they manage to obtain.
Reporting live from Deir El -Balah, the Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent, Tareq Abu Azzoum, explained that it is “impossible to cook dry food in Gaza – including lenses, rice or even pasta – without having water”.
“And if you had water, you would also need electricity or a fuel source, which were both completely cut from Gaza,” he said.
What is GHF?
Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is a new organization approved in the United States and the United States which distributes food to the Palestinians in Gaza. The organization has already been spoiled by delays and difficulties, the United Nations saying that the group does not have the capacity to face the disastrous humanitarian situation in Gaza, after the blockade of supplies of Israel in the besieged band.
Under increasing pressure to lift the blockade on Gaza and allow essential supplies, Israel has tried to present a solution by distributing aid via the GHF supported by the United States. However, Jake Wood, an American military veteran supervising the organization, has already resigned, affirming that he would not be able to fulfill the principles of “humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence”.
The GHF “restricted aid to a single part of Gaza while leaving other terrible needs,” said UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher to the Security Council last week. “This makes conditional aid to political and military objectives. It makes famine a negotiation currency. It is a cynical slideshow. Deliberate distraction. A figurine sheet for additional violence and displacement. ”
The UN and other humanitarian organizations refused to work with the GHF on the grounds that it would compromise the values and put their teams and those who receive in danger. They said GHF can be used by Israel to force the population by force by forcing them to move nearly a few distribution centers or to face famine. The UN also opposed the use of facial recognition to examine those who receive help.
How did Israel set off the people of Gaza?
One in five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip faces famine due to the blockade of Israel almost three months of the strip. Chaos at the distribution point highlights the amazing level of hunger gripping Gaza.
According to the latest classification report for the integrated food security phase (IPC), 1.95 million people – 93% of the enclave population – are faced with acute food shortages.
Some governors are experiencing more serious levels of hunger, namely North Gaza.
The IPC claims that the continuous blockade of Israel “would probably lead to an additional mass movement within and between governors”, because the elements essential to the survival of people will be exhausted.
