Doctors Without Borders demands end to ‘degrading’ GHF aid program in Gaza

The Doctors Without Borders charity calls for the controversial Israel- and US-backed relief effort in Gaza to be halted, saying it is “slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid.”

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, launched last month, “is degrading Palestinians by design, forcing them to choose between starvation or risking their lives for minimal supplies,” it says in a statement, demanding that the scheme be “immediately dismantled.”

GHF has faced severe criticism from the UN and other aid organizations for failing to meet the needs of the Palestinian enclave’s battered population, and for the near-daily mass casualty incidents near GHF distribution centers, in which the IDF has opened fire on Palestinians it claims strayed off approved access routes or were using them when they were forbidden from doing so.
