GENEVA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has condemned the Israeli-American Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and complicit governments, especially the US administration, for the ongoing deadly attacks on starving civilians at aid distribution sites in Gaza.
In a report on Saturday, Euro-Med called for an immediate halt to the Foundation’s operations and demands international investigations into alleged war crimes.
The report highlighted a recent massacre near Rafah’s ash-Shakoush area, where 30 Palestinians were killed and over 180 wounded after the closure of aid points forced thousands to crowd into one location amid an ongoing Israeli blockade.
Eyewitnesses and video evidence reviewed by Euro-Med revealed that private American security personnel working alongside Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition and tear gas canisters at civilians seeking food.
Euro-Med accused GHF of transforming humanitarian aid into a weapon of starvation and death under Israeli military control, replacing the previous UN aid mechanism.
Euro-Med called for criminal accountability for all involved, including US president Donald Trump, citing his administration’s support for the Israeli-led aid system and its broader military and diplomatic backing of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Euro-Med stressed that the use of lethal force against civilians at aid sites violates international law and constitutes war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
Euro-Med urged the international community to impose sanctions on Israel, restore humanitarian access to Gaza, and hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable through courts and legal instruments.
A survivor of a recent massacre told a Euro-Med team how civilians hiding in a pit for safety near the aid site were attacked by tanks and snipers, with heavy gunfire killing many within an hour.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor warned that continuing to allow GHF to manage aid distribution endangers Palestinian lives and called for a return to neutral, UN-led humanitarian efforts to prevent further atrocities in Gaza.
