Gaza NGO Network warns of aid centers ‘run by militants'
The Director of the Gaza NGO Network, Amjad al-Shawa warned on Sunday that certain aid distribution centers in the Gaza Strip are being run by armed soldiers, becoming ambush sites which put residents in danger. In press statements, Shawa confirmed that more than 126 people have been killed since the aid distribution centers began operating in the strip, emphasizing that Israel is misleading the world about the aid centers in order to cover up the famine. He explained that the new aid distribution system poses a direct threat to the lives of the people of Gaza, adding that 'armed soldiers are running the aid distribution centers in the Strip, and the people are forced to go to these centers due to their hunger,' calling for legal action against the humanitarian organization that caused the deaths. The Government Media Office stated that the Israeli army killed 120 citizens and wounded more than 550 others in special operations that included shelling and targeting hungry people as they tried to obtain food. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced the reopening of an aid distribution center after a two-day closure for security reasons. This came amid criticism to the organization, which some described as 'suspicious' for its involvement in the killing of Palestinians. Israeli forces also targeted aid distribution centers, killing one citizen and wounding others near the American Company Center on the Netzarim axis. Four people were killed and dozens wounded in a similar attack west of Rafah. Meanwhile, the Steadfastness Convoy, comprised of thousands of volunteers, departed from Tunisia toward the Rafah crossing to demand an end to Israel's genocide, the breaking of the blockade, and the entry of aid. And the Freedom Flotilla ship 'Madleen' continued its advance toward the shores of Gaza on Sunday. The International Committee for Breaking the Siege on Gaza confirmed that the ship approached the shores of the besieged Palestinian Gaza Strip on Sunday, reaching within a few miles, and that the mission is approaching a 'moment of truth.' Israeli forces are monitoring the ship and likely intend to obstruct its progress. The newspaper 'Israel Hayom' reported on Sunday that the occupation army has chosen to intercept the Madleen before it enters territorial waters, preventing it from reaching the shores of Gaza Strip.
