Israel Kills 80 Palestinians, 50 at Food Centres
By Yadnom Awu/ Asaba
No fewer than 80 Palestinians have been killed today by Israeli troops in Gaza and the West Bank, according to emergency sources and the Hamas -run Gaza Health Ministry.
More than 50 of the victims were killed by Israeli troops at food distribution centres.
The killings mark the continuation of the trend by which Palestinians are daily killed at aid distribution centres run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, GHF, a creation of both Israel and America.
The GHF was unilaterally created by Israel and America after the Jewish state accused the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA,of collaborating with Hamas , which it describes as a terrorist organization.
Israel has offered no evidence,at least, in public, to support its accusations but the creation and operationalization of the GHF has enabled it sidestep UNRWA’ which had been in charge since the 1950s.
Both the UN and other humanitarian agencies have distanced themselves from the GHF which is ran by a private security company from America, with armed Israeli troops providing security cover.
While UNRWA had more than 400 centres for the distribution of humanitarian supplies in Gaza, the GHF has only four such centres at which Gazans are given only 20 minutes daily to pick their ration of humanitarian supplies.
The United Nations,(UN) says that it has more than 600 aid trucks stuck at the border because Israel has barred them from getting them into Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
