More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed seeking aid since the GHF began its operations, replacing the United Nations-backed system that had previously overseen aid deliveries to the enclave.
#Israel has maintained that aid distribution by #GHF, which requires aid seekers to travel long distances, is needed to prevent #Hamas from stealing aid entering #Gaza.
However, a recent internal analysis by the US Agency for International Development recently found no evidence of widespread aid diversion by Hamas. Israeli military officials similarly told The NYT last week that they had no evidence that Hamas was systemically stealing aid.
Israel has maintained that it does not intentionally target civilians but has acknowledged some instances in which its forces have opened fire on crowds near distribution sites.
