In total, at least 1,373 Palestinians have been killed during the search for food since 27 May; 859 near the GHF locations and 514 along the routes of food craps.

OHCHR noted that most murders were committed by the Israeli army, and that although it is aware of the presence of other armed elements in the same areas, it has no information that indicates their involvement in the murders.

‘[The office] has no information that these Palestinians directly participated in hostilities or a threat were for Israeli security forces or other persons. Every killed or wounded person had struggled desperately to survive, not only for themselves, but also for their families and people, “said it.

Keep track of international law

The office emphasized that deliberate attacks on citizens did not directly participate in hostilities and deliberately use the hunger of citizens as a method of warfare by depriving them from objects that are indispensable for their survival, including a deliberate obstacle of auxiliary supplies, his war crimes.

“As part of a systematic or widespread attack on the civilian population, they can also form crimes against humanity,” OhCHR added and noted that the cumulative impact of these incidents and humanitarian access restrictions.

“Each of these murders must be investigated immediately and independently, and those who are held responsible. Urgent measures must be taken to prevent recurrence,” said it.

Airdrops not effective

In the meantime, the UN -Relief and Works Agency for Palestine -refugees (Nerrente), underlined the need to open away transitions to offer help on a scale about the Gaza Strip.

“AirDrops are at least 100 times more expensive than trucks. Trucks have twice as much help as aircraft,” UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini said On social media.

“If there is political will to allow airdrops – which are very expensive, insufficient and inefficient, there should be a similar political will to open the road transitions,” he emphasized.

Mr. Lazzarini also noted that UNRWA has loaded 6000 trucks with help that waiting outside Gaza to enter to come in.

During the cessation -the -Fires earlier this year, UNRWA and other UN agencies could help 500 to 600 trucks every day.

“Help reached the entire population of Gaza in safety and dignity. It managed to turn the hunger in -hunger without any aid deviation,” said UNRWA head.

“Let’s go back to what works and let us do our work.”
