Aid distribution chaos brings further ‘dehumanisation’ to Gaza
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has opened a new distribution centre in central Gaza close to the Netzarim Corridor, where thousands of desperate families have gathered to get aid.
The distribution process has played out there chaotically, in a sign of a failing strategy to safely distribute aid.
Let’s compare this with how UN agencies have operated over the past decades. The UN usually follows a very established humanitarian network, using some sort of concrete data to distribute aid – sending messages for every family individually with a time and location for collection, in order to ensure that the operation will go smoothly and safely.
By contrast, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s mechanism is bringing more cycles of turmoil to Gaza – a new episode of dehumanisation.
Nine police officers killed in Israeli strike in Gaza City
Our colleagues on the ground are reporting that nine people were killed in an Israeli bombing near the as-Saraya junction in Gaza City.
Gaza’s Interior Ministry confirmed the news, stating: “Israeli occupation aircraft targeted a number of police officers at the Saraya Junction in central Gaza City this afternoon, while they were carrying out their duty to confront a group of thieves.
“This resulted in the deaths of several police officers and passersby in a new massacre perpetrated by the occupation.” The ministry added that the thieves and Israeli forces work hand in hand to “create chaos and spread fear among citizens”.
“Despite the great sacrifices and heavy losses in the lives of members of the security and police establishment, we will not abandon our duty and will continue to protect the lives and property of citizens,” the ministry said.
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said the air strike that targeted the officers was among many that occurred today in densely populated areas.
“Six law enforcement members were killed in a drone strike following their efforts to contain and control a looting incident led by a group of desperate Palestinians,” he said.
