Reopening of the auxiliary centers in Gaza: Hope for threats!
Rafah, Gazastreifen, Palästina - The Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) today plans to reopen two distribution centers for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. According to Südkurier , these centers were closed the previous day due to "direct threats" of the Islamist Hamas. The reopening in Rafah, in the south of Gazas, is scheduled for noon. Residents are urgently asked not to approach the centers before the opening time in order not to endanger the distribution of food packages. On Friday, the GHF announced the preliminary closure of the centers because of a "big rush".
The Hamas threats again had made it impossible to open the auxiliary centers the following day so as not to endanger life of innocent people. About two weeks ago, Israel also relaxed the blockade of aid deliveries in the Gaza Strip. The GHF has set itself the goal of taking over the distribution of relief goods and deals with UN aid organizations and other initiatives. Israel fears that Hamas will acquire the auxiliary deliveries, which makes the GHF stand under critical looks, since it is accused of endangering civilians and violating the standard of neutral help.
Humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip
The humanitarian Situation in Gaza is still catastrophic. There is a lack of food, drinking water, medication and everyday needs. As ZDF today, the Israeli military has been blocking auxiliary deliveries for over two months, which further exacerbates the situation of the civilian population. A new initiative, the GHF, was founded to restructure the distribution of relief goods. She plans to distribute relief goods to the Palestinians via four logistics centers and to avoid access by Hamas.
The GHF relies on private security forces to secure the routes and distribution centers, with Israeli soldiers not involved in the output. Israel is expected to strengthen its offensive against Hamas because the pressure on the civilian population increases. Critics, including Unicef, warn that the measures planned by the GHF are dangerous. You could lead to the fact that old, disabled children, the sick and injured the distribution centers.
protests and social tensions
While the situation in Gaza is coming, there are also protests in Europe. On Friday morning, a group of propalestinian activists entered the state studio of ORF Tirol in Innsbruck and had a Palestine flag on the roof. This campaign, which was accompanied by a large police operation, was a protest against the supposedly not objective reporting of ORF on the Middle East conflict. Editor -in -chief Georg Laich assured that the ORF reports on the events in Gaza.
The Tyrolean security councilor Astrid Mair condemned the penetration into public buildings as dangerous for public order and emphasized that such actions undermine the credibility of legitimate concerns.
