The Palestinian resistance factions confirmed that the "US aid distribution centers" in the Gaza Strip have turned into deadly traps targeting the hungry Palestinian people.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the factions stressed that the real aim behind these so-called "US aid distribution centers" is to dismantle UNRWA, the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees.
They explained that among the broader objectives is accelerating the forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of Gaza, emptying the Strip of its people, implementing the plan of US President Donald Trump, while adding that the goal of these so-called "aid distribution centers" is to eliminate the Palestinian cause as a political issue and turn it into a matter of relief and humanitarian aid.
The Palestinian resistance factions warned their people against falling for the occupation's false promises, designed to lure them away from UNRWA and replace it with an alternative system. They also called on international and Arab legal organizations, as well as global advocates for justice, to hold the inhumane US security establishment accountable.
UNRWA is the only organization that can handle Gaza aid
They highlighted that the US security establishment is engaging in suspicious intelligence activities, while over 126 people have already starved to death as a result of "Israel's" siege.
The factions demanded increased pressure on the Israeli regime and US security administration to restore humanitarian aid distribution through UN-affiliated institutions, particularly UNRWA, stressing that UNRWA alone has the legal mandate, practical expertise, and operational capacity to handle aid distribution while safeguarding both the survival and basic human rights of Gaza's population.
In the same context, the Gaza government media office emphasized the UN's crucial role in delivering aid, declaring its readiness to facilitate and protect these efforts.
GHF admits failure in Gaza
On June 7, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) acknowledged its inability to distribute food parcels to Palestinians, citing what it described as "direct threats" from Hamas, though it offered no evidence or specific details to substantiate these claims.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation asserted in an official release that purported security concerns had obstructed assistance from reaching what it described as "desperate populations across Gaza numbering in the hundreds of thousands." The Israeli-aligned relief organization, which conducts all field operations with IOF coordination, indicated it was implementing operational modifications while pledging to restore distribution services imminently.
Gaza's Health Ministry reported that the fatalities linked to GHF-coordinated food aid distribution have climbed to 110, while injuries exceed 1,000, with many victims falling near temporary aid stations in northern and central Gaza where desperate residents congregated seeking sustenance under "Israel's" continuing siege.
