Overview

  • The U.N. human rights office reports at least 875 Palestinians have been killed at aid distribution sites and convoy routes in Gaza over the past six weeks.
  • Of those deaths, 674 occurred near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation centres and 201 along routes used by U.N. and other agency convoys.
  • Gaza Humanitarian Foundation operations bypass the U.N. system by deploying private U.S. security and logistics teams under U.S. and Israeli backing.
  • Major humanitarian groups have refused to participate after the U.N. described the GHF’s biometric, militarised model as unsafe and partisan.
  • Israel has opened a war crimes probe into the shootings while the GHF continues to reject all fatality claims.
