It denounced the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for delivering more than two million meals.
Geneva, September 29 - A coalition of international humanitarian organizations announced today that it had met or exceeded expectations with the quantity of food, medicines, clothing, and other essential goods that, thanks to the group's efforts, completely bypassed the beleaguered population for whom it was intended, instead winding up in the warehouses of the terrorist organization that runs much of the territory, where the goods are then distributed to cronies or sold to the very population supposed to receive the goods at no cost.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, working with the World Food Program and several other international aid organizations, issued a statement congratulating itself and the various constituent organizations working in the Gaza Strip, for successfully preventing up to 95% of international aid from reaching the civilians of the war-torn area.
The statement also denounced the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for successfully delivering more than twenty million meals to Gazans in the areas where it operates.
"We have repeatedly insisted that GHF coordinate its activities with us," the statement acknowledged. "However, the GHF refuses to cooperate on coordinating the proper quantities to be delivered to the people of Gaza. While our efforts ensure that no more than one truck in twenty gets to the people in the most dire need, GHF irresponsibly and indiscriminately allows nearly everyone access to the aid, which belongs in Hamas warehouses until it can be distributed only to those whom the movement has properly-vetted."
Other humanitarian organizations seconded the praise that the UN-led consortium heaped on itself. "Gaza represents a case study in balancing competing priorities in aid distribution," lauded Ken Roth, formerly the Director or Human Rights Watch. "Often, the need to maintain international attention and funding necessitates highly-publicized efforts to deliver aid. Here, however, the human rights community also identified a more fundamental need, that of keeping Hamas in power in the Gaza Strip, keeping it in control of essential goods and services. The UN and WFP succeeded in threading the needle by showing the world images of all the trucks full of aid, but not delivering them except to Hamas, lest the people of Gaza experience any independence from Hamas. Any taste of life not under Hamas could cause everything to spin out of control, as it has in Israeli-run areas, where everyone gets food, and thus undermine what the international human rights committee has been building for decades."
"That would be a humanitarian catastrophe of the highest order."
