I don't understand how they can't be stopped. Is it all down to Trump's support? I don't really understand how the UN or ICC works now? Only if you are a white Westerner?

This is just horrific and unnecessary. The UN have been distributing aid in war zones since world war 2 and know what they are doing - things like spreading out delivery sites so you don't concentrate thousands of desperate people in one small area to reduce stampedes and prevent only the physically strongest people from getting aid. Delivering the right kind of food for the circumstances eg no dry grains or pasta if there is a shortage of clean water etc. And also not putting bullets into people when they do come to get food.

GHF doesn't do any of this. And it can't be because they didn't think of it.

Not just the dead but over 3000 injured many of which could be life changing injuries and amputations.

“Israel’s militarized humanitarian assistance mechanism is in contradiction with international standards on aid distribution,” he insisted. “The weaponization of food for civilians, in addition to restricting or preventing their access to life-sustaining services, constitutes a war crime and, under certain circumstances, may constitute elements of other crimes under international law.”

Gaza: Over 400 Palestinians killed around private aid hubs, UN rights office says

At least 410 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military while trying to fetch from controversial new aid hubs in Gaza – a likely war crime – the UN human rights office, OHCHR, said on Tuesday.

There's increasing reports over multiple days that the IDF have been using tanks fire on civilians trying to get aid. All whilst the focus has been on Iran and Israel. This needs to be investigated ASAP.

It was a massacre," one witness, Ahmed Halawa, said.
He said tanks and drones fired at people, "even as we were fleeing - many people were either martyred or wounded".
Another witness, Hossam Abu Shahada, said drones were flying over the area, watching the crowds. Then there was gunfire from tanks and drones, leaving a "chaotic and bloody" scene as people attempted to escape.
He said he saw at least three people lying on the ground motionless and many others wounded as he fled.

They mustn't be forgotten, these poor souls who are getting murdered in this way. It's horrendous, and it is getting glossed over while the shenanigans are taken up with the Iran issue.

I read yesterday that 15 human rights groups have written to the GHF to tell them they are complicit in harming Palestinians. Il see if I can find the article.

Seems like the EU agreed with you about the collective punishment.

Withholding humanitarian aid is a war crime regardless of what Hamas do and don't do. What you are suggesting is collective punishment is ok because Hamas won't surrender

It’s all ‘Israel, Israel, Israel’ when talking about the aid, no one mentions that Hamas are the architect of this.
Why don’t any of the pro-Palestinian supporters on here say Hamas should surrender to end the suffering?
Never mention that Hamas uses the aid to fund its operations? That Hamas sells the free aid to profit itself?

Ok Hamas should surrender to end the suffering.

Wont end it though.

And it is all Israel because they have inflicted this on the entire population.

Evil government.
And anyone who supports this should take a long hard look at their ethics.

All it will take is for Hamas to lay down its arms and surrender.
Or do they think still think are going to somehow ‘win’?
Hamas could end the suffering today, if it wanted to.

Fucking hell.

Starvation and drought by collective punishment of an entire population because of a terrorist group (that's also terrorising the country)

And this is acceptable.
I didn't think I could be any more shocked on here.

The strip urgently needs to be flooded with aid. When people are desperate and there's not enough to go round lawlessness sets in which is unsafe for everybody especially children and the vulnerable. I have yet to hear one valid reason why this can't be done

While Netanyahu endures his "hardship" this is the life he has subjected a couple of million people to.
