Israel only allows this “Corporation Complete Foundation” to distribute scarce aid in insulating areas in the southern Gaza Strip with the aim of emptying the north of the Palestinians, while the army is starting to shoot the crowds of the hungry, leaving dead and wounded.
Since the start of this mechanism, the Israeli occupation army has committed bloody massacres near the aid distribution points, especially in Rafah city Southern Gaza Strip.
And repeatedly, the government media office in Gaza said that the current mechanism for distributing the so -called aid is one of the tools of genocide, and aims forcibly displacing the Palestinians from The northern Gaza Strip To its south.
For his part, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights described Volcker Turk as the method of distributing aid as “unacceptable” and “affecting human dignity”, and said, “Imagine people who have been waiting for food and medicine for 3 months, then they are asked to run with fire.”
