People in the sealed -off Gaza Strip are desperately waiting for more help. A new, not undisputed distribution mechanism should now have started, but a lot remains unclear.
According to media reports, the newly founded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has already distributed the first relief supplies in the Gaza Strip. This reported several Israeli and international media, citing a message from the organization. The foundation did not provide any information on how much was distributed, but it published photos of residents who went away with packages, it said, among other things, in the “Times of Israel” and the “Jerusalem Post”.
Shortly before, there had been media reports in Israel that the opening of a distribution center was delayed due to logistical difficulties – and thus also the beginning of the new mechanism used by the Israeli government. The news page “Ynet” reported, for example, referring to Israeli government officials, it was the main distribution agency of the help and the first of several to take up their business. There were no official information.
From the communication of the US Foundation GHF, from which journalists cited on social media, it was not clear how many of the four intended centers are said to have started their business. They are to be the point of contact for the residents in the sealed off coastal area, the location of which has worsened even after an almost three -month blockade of auxiliary goods. Israel had only relaxed the blockade a few days ago. More than two million people live in the Gaza strip.
With the new distribution strategy, the Israeli government wants to prevent Islamist Hamas from making deliveries and making money with it. The United Nations and other organizations criticize the plan because it means long distances for many people – and they could be shot at in the war zone. The way could be impossible for old and sick people.
