The UN human rights office reported that at least 798 people have died while seeking food at sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation since May. The GHF has been criticized for violating humanitarian principles and for possible complicity in war crimes. Claims from Israel suggest Hamas diverted aid, but the UN found no evidence. The GHF employs American mercenaries, overseeing fewer distribution zones than the UN. Palestinians face many challenges and risks while seeking food, as recent violence led to multiple deaths due to Israeli forces opening fire.
Since the end of May, at least 798 people have been killed while seeking food at distribution points operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and other humanitarian convoys, according to the UN human rights office.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been condemned for allegations of violating humanitarian principles, with claims of complicity in war crimes amid a context of deteriorating safety for civilians.
Palestinians have faced complex routes and dangers in seeking food, with a recent incident resulting in at least 10 deaths when Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd.
The claims from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation assert that the UN figures are misleading, pointing to the deadliest attacks being linked to UN convoys rather than their operations.
