Israel challenges Gaza’s help numbers while GHF supported by the United States has millions

While the debate warms up on the delivery of aid to Gaza, Israeli officials have again questioned the United Nations on its data, in particular, helping it to be robbed or intercepted, and the number of trucks entering the enclave from Israel.

Since August 12, the United Nations Office for Project Services have shown that 3,140 trucks have been intercepted on their way to their destinations since May 19. Only 412 trucks, 11.6% of the total sent to the region, have reached their targeted location. The UN said that the aid had been taken “peacefully by hungry people, forced actors”.

On Tuesday, an examination carried out by the Israeli coordinator of government activities in the territories (COGAT) said that he had noted that the United Nations figures had not taken into account around 6,000 additional trucks since May. Cogat said that Israel had authorized approximately 9,200 trucks to provide Gaza aid in the last three months, a figure 2.5 times higher than the 3,500 trucks counted by the UN

“The fact that the UN presents only part of the aid has effectively transferred the international community to induce the international community and creates a false image of the situation, directly influencing global media coverage and shaping the positions of international decision -makers concerning the humanitarian situation in Gaza,” said a Cogat declaration.

Meanwhile, according to the group, the delivery mechanisms of assistance outside the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) often malignant continues to show success, according to the group. Theft and looting were not a problem for the GHF – which continues to provide between one and two million meals per day through distribution sites guaranteed by armed guards. The GHF has provided more than 130 million meals since the start of its operations on May 27.

“The presence of armed security is one of the reasons why the GHF has been able to provide success without a single truck to be looted”, noting that “in one of the most volatile and complex operating environments in the world, this security is the only reason why food constantly reaches civilians without interference from Hamas.”

Although a group of around 230 NGOs initially rejected the organization because of what they called “militarized distribution sites”, Fay said that things could change in more than 200 international organizations, “said a letter invoking the UN to collaborate with us.”

“It is not the militarization of the aid … It is the only way to ensure that food really reaches civilians. Each decision we make is guided by the protection of lives.”

He said that “more help is the solution to many problems in Gaza today” and that GHF is “ready to work with any organization that wants to help feed the inhabitants of Gaza”.

Several weeks ago, Fay turned the vast fields of Kerem Shalom Crossing, where the United Nations help pallets await collection by drivers. “I saw about a dozen (trucks) seated roasted, entirely loaded with dozens of food pallets in each truck. I saw flour rot on the side of the road. There were medical supplies that had already expired.”

Addressing the drivers who provide help to Gaza, he was told that they were in the loading area for five days, living out of their trucks. The drivers said that on the fourth day, they had tried to enter Gaza of Kerem Shalom but were killed by unknown armed men in Gaza. He reported that drivers are now in “fear for their life” and asked if the GHF would ensure the safety of their trucks.

A spokesperson for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) told Fox News Digital that “the use of armed escorts can undermine the perception of the neutrality and independence of humanitarian workers, by dating in turn the acceptance of the community and the security of the staff, and to hinder access to civilians in need”. The spokesperson called for armed escorts to “be used only in exceptional circumstances as a last resort”.

“All those who work in Gaza operate in extremely dangerous circumstances … What is clear is that the conditions are not in place for humanitarian workers or those who support them to provide large -scale help in complete safety, quickly and effectively. We have constantly called civilians to be always protected and to be activated to reach people in need.

“In order to reach the people of Gaza confronted with famine, we need a predictable lifeline via all the available passages and through all the available corridors. We also need to remove the obstacles that we continue to cope: delays in the control points; impractic, dangerous or congestioned roads; and restrictions on what can enter and be authorized to provide supplies.”

The spokesman did not answer questions about the fate of the aid that has not reached his destination, nor to the fact that the fear of the drivers of removal, death and looting hinders the dispersion of aid. The spokesman said that “the UN and our partners have strict surveillance in place with the surveillance of deliveries when authorized to do so”, and said that “we have no evidence of diversion of systematic UN aid in Hamas”.

Despite the contrary declarations, there is increasing evidence that Hamas diverts and has humanitarian aid.

A public assessment of the State Department provided to Fox News Digital said that the office of the Inspector General of the American Agency for International Development “had received and actively investigates credible allegations of systematic interference by Hamas in Gaza. The staff can fear political reprisals or violent reprisals for the sharing of information and the release of Hamas.”

An Israeli military official told Fox News Digital that aid that is diverted from UN trucks, he estimates that around 40% percent is taken by local communities and around 60% by armed looters. He said it was difficult to assess the amount of help diverted by Hamas. “Hamas is not a strength bearing a uniform and identifying itself,” he said.

The Israeli coordinator of government activities in the territories (COGAT) shared an X video of Hamas Poot Aid Packages on July 29, explaining that “even when the aid is delivered to Gaza – Hamas pays it for its own use, without taking into account the needs of the population.”

Orde Kittrie, professor of law at the Arizona State University and principal researcher at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that the obstruction of Hamas aid violates international law.

“Butting on intentionally (ING) the passage of humanitarian aid, including food, to civilians in need” is a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. He declared that Hamas violated “the international alliance on economic, social and cultural rights, whose article 11 recognizes” the fundamental right of everyone to be free of hunger “, because they” sag his own people “.

“What Hamas does represents an unusual violation, if not completely new, the type of violation of the prohibition of” the famine of civilians as a method of war “. This prohibition is generally raped by a soldier intentionally affecting civilians in order to put pressure on the enemy to surrender or abandon positions or to divert limited resources towards the enemy’s own civilians.
