Hungry Gazans flood new United States and the help center supported by the United States and Israel

The GHF has published a declaration confirming that the Gazans have taken part of the site’s help they call SDS-1.

“The needs in the field are excellent,” said the press release. “At one point from the end of the afternoon, the volume of SDS people was such that the GHF team fell back to allow a small number of Gazans to take safe help and dissipate. This was done in accordance with the GHF protocol to avoid victims.”

The order was restored at the end of the afternoon, said the group, adding that it had distributed about 8,000 food boxes, equivalent to around 462,000 meals, to a crowd of Palestinians who included many women and children, some of whom arrived on donkey carts.

Later, the organization of aid and the Israelis, as well as the United States Department of State, accused Hamas of having tried to prevent civilians from reaching the aid distribution center.

“The fact is that Hamas opposed this dynamic,” said State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce during a briefing. “They tried to stop the aid movement through Gaza in these distribution centers. They failed, but they are certainly trying.”

The government’s media office managed by Hamas in Gaza blamed the situation in the “mismanagement” of the GHF.

“This has made thousands of hungry people rushed under the pressure of the siege and hunger, then storm the distribution and food seizure centers, interspersed with the Israeli occupation,” said the media office.

The GHF was put in place to take control of the distribution of foods in Gaza far from the help groups led by the United Nations, which have trouble keeping residents provided with meals, fuel, drugs and other articles since the Israeli war with Hamas broke out in October 2023.

The Israelis argued that the new system is necessary because Hamas stole supplies and hungry for their own people.

But UN criticisms and other rescue organizations say that the Israelis use help to attract Palestinians from their houses in the north of Gaza in the south so that they can consolidate their control in the territory.

“The so-called” safe distribution sites “are nothing more than” racist isolation ghettos “established under the supervision of the occupation, in exposed and isolated military areas”, according to the media office managed by Hama.

On Monday, the head of the GHF, Jake Wood, gave criticism of his organization’s efforts more ammunition by resigning suddenly and claiming that it would be impossible to do work without compromising “the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence”.

Cogat, the link of the Israeli army with the Palestinians and the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was a mother at the exit of Wood.

The GHF board of directors said in a statement that he was “disappointed” by the departure of Wood, but that he will move forward with his plan and would begin to distribute the aid to Gaza.

In Washington, Bruce said that the State Department was not involved in this effort and that “the real story here is that there is food aid to enter”.

“There will be people, of course, who will examine some of the details and not like that,” said Bruce.
