Gaza Doctor Exposes Israel's 'Weaponized' Aid System

Gaza Humanitarian Crisis: Doctor Condemns Israel's 'Weaponized' Aid Distribution Gaza is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with thousands of civilians struggling for survival amidst ongoing conflict. The situation has been further exacerbated by Israel's recent changes to the system for delivering humanitarian aid, according to Mads Gilbert, a physician at the University Hospital of North Norway, who has extensive experience working in Gaza. In a recent interview, Dr. Gilbert described the new system as "militarised and weaponised." He explains, "Israel has now made a whole new set of rules where they exclude the common mechanism, which is the UN mechanism of distributing help to people in need, and they have replaced it with a militarised and weaponised type of distribution system." His testimony highlights the alarming reality on the ground. Dr. Gilbert further details how the Israeli occupation army, along with mercenaries from the US, are using food as bait to attract starving people, only to kill them. "What we see in Rafah is actually that the Israeli occupation army...are using food as bait to attract starving people and then killing them." This tactic not only violates basic humanitarian principles but also underscores the severe vulnerability of the Gazan population. The doctor's urgent call is for robust sanctions and an immediate halt to Israel's actions. His words serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need for international intervention to alleviate the suffering of the people in Gaza and ensure the safe and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.
