#humanitarian aid attacks

[news4dzhozhar]

IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN!!!

Palestinian officials call latest assault ‘premeditated’ as people seeking humanitarian supplies increasingly targeted.

At least 21 Palestinians have been killed after Israeli forces opened fire on thousands of people waiting for aid in Gaza City in the same area that was targeted hours earlier, government officials said.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza described the late Thursday attack as a “new, premeditated massacre” and said more than 150 people were wounded.

Witnesses told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces had used helicopters, tanks and drones to target thousands of people waiting on food trucks.

It was the latest in a string of assaults on people desperately in need of food and other essential supplies as Israel continues to obstruct and severely control the entry of aid into the enclave.

Earlier on Thursday, at the same food distribution point at the Kuwait Roundabout, Israeli forces had shot dead at least six Palestinians, as the death toll has risen to more than 400 people in such attacks.

The Israeli military carried out five separate attacks on aid distribution centres in the past 48 hours in the Gaza Strip, killing 56 people and injuring more than 300,  the media office of the enclave’s government said on Friday.

“We hold the US administration and the international community, in addition to the ‘Israeli’ occupation, fully responsible for the crime of genocide,” it said in a statement on Telegram.

The Israeli military denied that its forces had opened fire on the crowds and claimed instead that “armed Palestinians” were responsible for the attack.

“Armed Palestinians opened fire while Gazan civilians were awaiting the arrival of the aid convoy” in Gaza City on Thursday and then “continued to shoot as the crowd of Gazans began looting the trucks”, the military said in a statement on Friday.

“Additionally, a number of Gazan civilians were run over by the trucks,” it said, adding that a preliminary review determined that its forces did not carry out the attack with tanks, guns or air strikes.

The military was “continuing to review the incident”, it said.

Weapon of war

Martin Griffiths, the UN’s emergency relief coordinator, said on Friday that incidents of Israeli forces shooting at Palestinians searching for food “cannot be allowed to continue”.

“People should not have to die while trying to keep their families alive,” he said in a post on X.

“Distributing aid in Gaza should be done in a safe, dignified and predictable manner. Anything less is unconscionable. The war must end.”

Shaina Low, communications adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council, said the ongoing killings of aid seekers represent a breakdown in communication between aid groups and Israeli authorities.

“It’s a clear sign that the deconfliction system, in which humanitarian agencies and the UN notify and correspond with Israel … is completely failing,” she told Al Jazeera, adding that this system is meant to allow aid agencies to inform Israel of routes they will take to ensure they aren’t targeted.

“This is something that is preventable and shouldn’t be happening,” Low added.

Rights groups say that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against Palestinians.

With Israel’s war on Gaza now in its sixth month, the United Nations has warned that at least 576,000 people in the enclave – a quarter of the population – are on the brink of famine, and global pressure has been growing on Israel to allow more access to aid.

Israel, which controls Gaza’s crossings, has opened just one entry point into the enclave since the start of the war and imposed “endless checking procedures” for trucks to pass through, UN agencies say.

Faced with Israel’s obstruction of aid trucks, the international community has devised complicated workarounds, including a sea corridor from Cyprus to the besieged Strip and plans by the United States to set up a temporary jetty off Gaza’s coast to bring in supplies –  a move criticised as an attempt to divert attention from Washington’s continued military and political support for Israel as famine looms and the onslaught persists.

Last month, Israeli forces killed 118 people scrambling for flour on the coastal al-Rashid Street, southwest of Gaza City, provoking worldwide condemnation, but the attacks have nonetheless continued unabated.

The Gaza Health Ministry said in its latest update on Friday that at least 31,490 Palestinians have been killed and 73,439  wounded by Israeli attacks since October 7.

Help Mahasen, a Digital Artist from Gaza and Her Family!

Hello, I am Mahasen,a Digital Artist from North Gaza, where creativity thrives despite challenges. Verified by @90-ghost here

PLEASE DONATE HERE

In this tough situation, I am a digital artist finding solace and resilience through my art .. pixels and colors.

For over a decade, I've navigated the freelance world, weaving intricate digital tapestries that reflect the beauty and strength of my surroundings.

My father died, and I am the main provider for my family.

Before the war, I worked with international companies in motion graphics,

specializing in character design and storyboarding.

The conflict forced us into repeated evacuations, and our home suffered damage, including the theft and destruction of my essential art equipment and tablet. Each stolen piece held not just monetary value but years of dedication and creativity and hard work. We are left HOMELESS, UNSAFE, SICK with VERY LITTLE FINANCIAL SECURITY!

Our family consists of:

• My mother, 62 years old.

• My sister Mai, 35 years old, who is also visually impaired.

• Myself,Mahasen, 31 years old.

• My brother Mohammed, 28 years old, who is visually impaired.

• My brother's wife Iman, 28 years old.

• My youngest brother Amin, 21 years old.

Your support is crucial as I rebuild what was lost. Your contribution will help replace my tools and restore hope and creativity. And mainly for my family's safety, ability to survive the current situation and community.

Together, we can affirm that art is more than expression,

it is a lifeline that connects us and enlighten even the darkest moments.

Expenses Needed:

• Travel arrangements to Egypt ( $5000 per person ) for 6 family members.

• Living expenses to survive the current situation in Gaza.

• Buying art equipment and tablet to recover what I've lost and be able to work again.

• Living and transportation expenses during the initial period of travel.

• Food and medical expenses.

Every donation counts! Your support makes a real difference for my family and me.

Please consider contributing and sharing to help us.

Help Farah and her family!!

Meet Farah

Farah received a severe head injury after her home was bombed by the occupation last year. It resulted in a fractured skull and brain bleeding, which left her disabled for several months.

To continue the treatment of her wound, she needs to evacuate outside of Gaza. However, this is very expensive, and her family is large. They cannot work due to the invasion, and have no way of raising the funds to pay evacuation costs, or to support themselves until evacuation is possible.

Farah's family started a GFM campaign, but progress was very slow. Then GoFundMe had locked Farah's campaign for reasons that have not been made clear. Thankfully, her account is now reopened! Even so, total donations up to now equal less than 1% of their goal, despite being open since April!

The temporary locking of her campaign means that there has been no progress on it for over a week. Farah and her family are in a very desperate situation, and badly need your support. They will not be able to evacuate, or to survive in the mean time, without your help.

She is still recovering from her severe head wound, and she and her family still struggling with malnutrition and living in a fabric tent in the mud. Please support her campaign, reblog this post, boost posts by Farah @farahyounis, and copy and paste the campaign link across social media.

Thank you❤️

‼️🇵🇸⛺️ Tents for people fleeing Rafah

[Plain text: Tents for people fleeing Rafah]

As you all may know, the grand majority (around 2 million) of Palestinians in Gaza have had their homes destroyed by Israel and/or have been displaced, and not all have access to proper tents, or any tents at all.

Bad quality tents lead to:

A severe lack of privacy, specially for breastfeeding mothers

More vulnerability to insects and flies

Suffocation and overheating for families inside

Cramming in the tents, leading to having to take turns to sleep.

This is where Hala Sabbah comes into play; She is fundraising to buy and deliver high quality tents to displaced families. You can see exactly what type of tents they are in the second half of the video posted above.

One of these tents usually costs around $700 (they were meant to be free, but profiting off genocide is a thing.) However, with the Rafah invasion, these prices are soaring.

As of today 12th of May, £55,479 out of £80,000 have been collected. With your help, we can reach that goal 💚

Do you just speak your native/first language? Or are you multilingual like Amal @amalashuor?

In early October 2023, Amal was a university student pursuing a degree in French. She and her husband had a comfortable life with their newborn baby girl, Maryam. Their happy life was destroyed when the occupation began carpet-bombing Gaza. They lost their home and were forced to flee south in order to survive.

They stayed with friends for a time, but eventually had to leave due to the stresses of multi-family living in small spaces. They were living in a tent in Rafah for several months, under threat of bombs and IOF ground assault, but have been repeatedly displaced ever since then.

They are collecting aid so they can begin the paperwork to evacuate Gaza through Rafah crossing once it reopens. In the mean time, they continue to need support for food, water, and medicine. All of these items are scarce in Gaza, and the prices are extremely inflated as a result.

Please help this young family survive until they can find safety!
