An expanded Israeli offensive in Gaza which could see humanitarian “hubs” for aid distribution is being boycotted by the UN and other international NGOs who say they will not be complicit in military action. The UN said the plan “contravenes fundamental humanitarian principles”, puts people’s lives at risk, gives Israel total control of aid entry and distribution and leads to forced displacement as people attempt to live close to aid outposts. “These segregated zones wound undermine the architecture and mechanisms we have in place,” media and communications adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council Media, Ahmad Bayram told The National.
