How Israel's Gaza aid plan led to mass killing
Separate incidents of mass violence on consecutive days, killing at least 60 Palestinians in Gaza, all centered around an Israel aid plan backed by the US and run by private contractors.
A week of aid chaos in Gaza that has drawn condemnation from around the world and has led the United Nations to call for an independent inquiry into the deaths of desperate Palestinians, killed whilst queuing for aid, at locations they were told to attend by Israel's military.
At the centre of the tragedy, an American organisation; the Gaza Humanitarian Authority. Its CEO stepped down before aid even began to be distributed, stating he didn't believe GHF could operate under the 'humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence' he believed in.
A system that started under a cloud of controversy and criticism and is now at the centre of two mass killings. This is how an Israeli aid plan led to further carnage in Gaza.
