The UN human rights office (OHCHR) said that 1,054 people had been killed in Gaza in the past few weeks trying to fetch food, with most deaths – 766 – linked to private aid hubs run by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The Foundation’s hubs started operating in southern Gaza on 27 May, bypassing the UN and other established NGOs. “The so-called GHF distribution scheme is a sadistic death trap,” UNRWA spokeswoman Juliette Touma said. “Snipers open fire randomly on crowds, as if they’re given a licence to kill.” Quoting a statement by the UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini, Ms Touma called the scheme a “massive hunt of people in total impunity”.
