Relief supplies in the Gaza Strip: controversial distribution ensures conflicts

Gazastreifen, Palästina - In the Gaza Strip, the Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) started distributing relief goods. This initiative is a reaction to international pressure on Israel after humanitarian aid was able to get back into the area after an eleven -week blockade. According to information from Welt and Tagesschau have already been brought to safe distribution points with food. However, the exact amount and the selection of recipients remain unclear, which leads to considerable criticism by the United Nations (UN) and other NGOs.

UN spokesman Jens Laerke described the GHF as a distraction from the necessary auxiliary measures and fears that the organization will deal with the UN and international aid measures. The support of the GHF by Israel and the USA also causes unrest. While the US government welcomes the distribution of relief goods, it does not comment on possible political motives.

Criticism of the aid distribution

The GHF also had to face considerable pressure and allegations due to its one -sided cooperation with Israel. In addition, Unrwa spokeswoman Juliette Touma has classified the help as inadequate and pointed out the urgency to need at least 500 to 600 trucks a day to meet the needs of the population. The current auxiliary program could possibly further tighten the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, which is already burdened by limited aid deliveries.

Another point of the controversy is the announcement to reach one million Palestinians by the end of the week - this corresponds to about half of the population of the Gaza Strip. However, critics warn that the new distribution approach leads too long for many people and endangered them in the war zone.
