Charities urge shutdown of US- and Israel-backed Gaza aid group
Briefly

More than 130 humanitarian organizations, including prominent names such as Oxfam, Save the Children, and Amnesty International, have called for an immediate end to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's operations. They accuse the GHF of enabling attacks on civilians seeking aid and facilitating violations of humanitarian standards. The establishment of the GHF has led to significant casualties among Palestinians, with over 500 killed and thousands wounded. The groups emphasize the dire conditions in Gaza, where civilians face extreme risks while attempting to secure vital food supplies, often in militarized areas with frequent gunfire.
More than 130 humanitarian organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty International, have demanded the immediate closure of the Israeli- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), accusing it of facilitating attacks on starving Palestinians.
Since the GHF began operations in late May, more than 500 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid, and nearly 4,000 wounded, the groups reported.
Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families, the statement said.
Since its launch, the GHF has replaced more than 400 localised distribution points with only four centralised sites under Israeli military control.
