The head of the Rights of the United Nations, Volker Turk, says that the War Methods of Israel “inflicts horrible and inadmissible suffering on the Palestinians”.
At least 56 Palestinians have been killed since dawn across Gaza, including 38 people who were looking for help with their hungry families at the distribution points, mainly in the Rafah region in the south, Tel Aviv Tribune told Tel Aviv Tribune.
Monday’s latest carnage came to the controversial sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is supported by the United States and Israel and operates in areas closely controlled by the Israeli army and that criticisms have criticized “human slaughter”.
The head of the United Nations Human Rights condemned the conduct of Israel of his war in the besieged enclave, where the deadly Israeli attacks continue relentlessly while the country exchange missile attacks with regional Iran in FOE.
Speaking on Monday, Volker Turk said that the “War means and methods of Israel inflict horrible and unreasonable sufferings in Palestinians in Gaza”, where more than 20 months of Israeli attacks killed at least 55,362 people, including thousands of children, according to health officials in Gaza.
More than 300 people have been killed so far near the perilous distribution sites and more than 2,000 injured since the start of its operations.
Two Palestinians trying to take food on the Rafah site, Heba Jouda and Mohammed Abed, told the Associated Press news agency that the Israeli forces fired on crowds around 4 am (01:00 GMT) during the traffic roundabout, a few meters from the center of GHF, which was repeatedly in the round-head.
People fell on the ground, trying to cover themselves, they said. “Fire came from everywhere,” said Jouda, who made the trip dangerous several times to take food for her family last week. “It gets worse day by day,” she told AP.
Three other help seekers were killed in northern Gaza and two during an attack on Gaza City.
“Israel has armed food and blocked rescue aid,” Turk said by presenting his annual report to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.
“I urge immediate and impartial investigations to deadly attacks against desperate civilians to reach food distribution centers,” he added. “The disturbing and dehumanizing rhetoric of senior officials of the Israeli government recalls the most serious crimes.”
Hungry Palestinians are not lacking in options’
The GHF began to distribute a food aid net in Gaza at the end of May after Israel has partially lifted a total blockage of almost three months on food, drugs and other essential items, which has feared famine. No other aid was authorized by Israel, which in fact maintained the punished blockade in place.
The UN and the main humanitarian groups refused to cooperate with the GHF, citing concerns that it favors Israeli military objectives on humanitarian needs and bypassing organizations with decades of experience in the supply of food and medicine in hundred locations to the entire Gaza population.
This month, the operations of GHF aid distribution centers were temporarily interrupted after several deadly violence incidents in Rafah and the Netzarim corridor, where Israeli forces opened fire on aid seekers.
Reporting Deir El-Balah in the center of Gaza, Tareq Abu Azzoum of Tel Aviv Tribune said that the current aid distribution mechanism had caused “chaos and despair” among the Palestinians.
“Many hungry Palestinians have lacked options, forced to choose between staying at home and hungry or risking their lives to get a bag of flour,” he said.
