The GHF operation has been criticized for forcing people to walk through active combat zones
Gaza aid contractor says he saw colleagues fire on hungry Palestinians
JERUSALEM — A former security contractor for Gaza's controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid distribution sites has told the BBC that he witnessed colleagues opening fire several times on hungry Palestinians who had posed no threat, including with machine guns.On one occasion, he said, a guard had opened fire from a watchtower with a machine gun because a group of women, children and elderly people was moving too slowly away from the site.When asked to respond the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said the allegations were categorically false.They referred us to a statement saying that no civilians ever came under fire at the GHF distribution sites.The GHF began its operations in Gaza at the end of May, distributing limited aid from several sites in southern and central Gaza....

130 charities say controversial Gaza aid group must be shut down
GAZA — More than 130 charities and other NGOs are calling for the controversial Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to be shut down.Over 500 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid since the GHF started operating in late May, following Israel's three-month blockade of Gaza, the organisations said.

UK high court rejects challenge against selling military parts to Israel
LONDON — Human rights groups lost their legal challenge to the British government's decision to supply Israel with parts for F-35 fighter jets and other military equipment, in a ruling handed by London's High Court on Monday.The court, which looked into the allegation that the UK selling arms to Israel through a global pool was against the law, stated that it was not up to the courts to tell the government to withdraw from the group.The case was brought by the UK-based Global Legal Action Network and a Ramallah-based human rights group Al-Haq, in conjunction with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Oxfam.They argued that there was a “clear risk” that the UK's indirect supply of essential F-35 components to Israel — which have been linked to its recent military...
