MSF Exposes Gaza Aid Distribution as Orchestrated Killing
DaysofPal – Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has released a searing indictment of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), characterizing its food distribution sites as lethal traps rather than relief points.
In the report titled 'This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing.' MSF presents compelling medical data, eyewitness accounts, and direct clinical observations showing that civilians, many desperately seeking food, are being systematically maimed or killed at these sites.
Weaponizing Starvation
In May 2025, Israeli authorities dismantled the UN-led relief infrastructure and replaced it with a militarized food distribution system managed by GHF. Operating under full Israeli military control with U.S.-supported private contractors, GHF was branded an 'innovative solution,' yet MSF reveals it has instead 'weaponized starvation and curated suffering.'
Between June 7 and July 24, MSF's two frontline clinics in southern Gaza received 1,380 casualties, highlighting the staggering human cost of these deadly disturbances. Among them were 28 bodies and 174 individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. Disturbingly, 96% of those injured were young men, relentlessly sent by their families into these lethal environments to fetch food.
Adding to the horror, MSF treated 71 children with gunshot wounds during this period. Notable cases included a 12-year-old boy with a bullet that passed through his abdomen and an 8-year-old girl shot in the chest.
Data from MSF reveals a chilling pattern: in one clinic, 19% of gunshot wounds were to the chest and abdomen, and 11% to the head and neck, indicating targeted violence rather than indiscriminate firing. Similar precision was found in injuries to the lower limbs in another clinic, hinting at deliberate crowd control tactics.
A 'Laboratory of Cruelty'
Raquel Ayora, MSF's General Director, described GHF distribution sites as 'a laboratory of cruelty.' She recalled scenes of children shot in the chest while reaching for food, stampedes that crushed innocent civilians, and entire crowds being gunned down.
In nearly 54 years of humanitarian missions, MSF has 'rarely seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.'
According to Gaza's Health Ministry, well over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed and 7,200 injured while seeking food, most of them at GHF-controlled sites.
International agencies, including the UN, have similarly labeled these aid hubs as 'death traps,' urging their closure.
Médecins Sans Frontières urgently calls for the immediate dismantling of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's food distribution network, denouncing it as a lethal mechanism rather than a relief effort. The organization demands the swift reinstatement of the United Nations-coordinated humanitarian aid system to ensure safe and impartial access to life-saving supplies.
Furthermore, MSF urges governments, particularly the United States, to suspend all financial and political support to the GHF, holding them accountable for enabling what amounts to systematic violence against civilians under the guise of aid.
The grim reality revealed by this MSF report is that what is being portrayed as life-saving assistance has actually turned into a tool for dehumanization and even planned murder.
