The mass outcry of aid groups while Israel continues to block millions of dollars in assistance to hungry Palestinians.
More than 100 aid groups have accused Israel of being hampered Vitual assistance from the entrance to Gazaresulting in large quantities of rescue supplies remaining blocked in the warehouses of Jordan and Egypt while more and more Palestinians die.
Help trucks were massaged on the borders of Gaza in the middle of the blockade of Israel in the territory struck by famine, and new rules are used by Israel for Deny the entry of food, drugs, water And temporary shelters, groups said in a joint statement published Thursday.
“Despite the statements of the Israeli authorities according to which there is no limit to humanitarian aid entering Gaza, most important international NGOs (non -governmental organizations) have not been able to deliver a single truck of life -saving supplies since March 2”, the group said.
“Instead of cleaning the growing backwards of goods, the Israeli authorities have rejected the requests of dozens of NGOs to call on vital goods, quoting that these organizations are not authorized to provide help”, groups, which include doctors without borders (known by their French acronym, MSF), said.
Rescue organizations that have been working in Gaza for decades are now informed by Israel that they are not “authorized” to provide help due to new “registration rules”, which include the discourse on “security”.
Gaza hospitals are now without basic supplies, and children, the elderly and disabled people “die from hunger and avoidable diseases,” the statement said.
Bushra Khalidi, head of Oxfam policy, said that his organization had more than $ 2.5 million in humanitarian aid supplies that “were rejected to enter Gaza by Israel”.
MSF’s emergency coordinator in Gaza, Airor Zabalgogeazkoa, said that the aid restrictions were part of the militarized distribution of Israel of emergency supplies, Mercé by the notorious GHF.
“The militarized food distribution scheme has armed famine and organized suffering. Distributions on GHF sites have led to extreme levels of violence and murders, mainly young Palestinian men, but also women and children, who have gone to the sites in the hope of receiving food, “said Zabalgogeagoaa.
At least 859 Palestinians have been killed, trying to access assistance supplies on GHF distribution sites since May.
The more than 100 rescue organizations that signed the declaration requested that the pressure be exerted on Israel to put an end to its “armament of aid”, in Israel to put an end to its “bureaucratic obstruction” and to the unconditional delivery of wild humanitarian aid in Gaza.
The Minister of the diaspora of Israel, Amichai Chikli, who played a role in the new rules imposed on aid groups, told the AFP news agency that the registration of humanitarian groups could be rejected if the Israeli authorities considered that his activities reject the democratic nature of Israel or “promote the delegitimization of the campaigns.
The joint groups by the aid groups intervene while the Israeli forces are launching a new operation to take over the city of Gaza, which move more than a million people And force them to move south to concentration areas.
The Israel Operation to occupy the city of Gaza sparked international outrage, with the United Nations and the world leaders warning of humanitarian consequences devastating for the territory broken by war.
