The Israel Defense Forces has admitted firing warning shots at some of the sites, but has denied being involved in mass shootings.
GHF has been accused of running too few aid sites across Gaza, resulting in Palestinians having to trek for hours on foot to access the distribution facilities that have been handing out supplies.
Israeli authorities repeatedly dismiss reports of deaths and injuries coming from local medics, saying information coming out of Gaza is Hamas propaganda.
But Israel does not allow any media to enter the strip to verify the data itself.
On July 2, 2025, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, presented her report titledFrom economy of occupation to economy of genocide" during the 59th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council. The report highlights the deep entanglement of corporate, academic, and financial entities in sustaining Israelâs occupation and alleged genocide in Gaza. It calls for international criminal responsibility for companies and their executives involved in enabling these actions.
The report identifies major corporations such as Elbit Systems, Lockheed Martin, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon as complicit in providing tools, technologies, and logistical support that have fuelled the use of force against the Palestinian civilian population. It also criticises universities for their role in perpetuating the apartheid regime through research and collaborations with Israeli military and tech firms.
The report emphasises the role of the military-industrial complex, technology sector, financial system, and academic institutions in supporting the Israeli occupation. It specifically mentions companies like Palantir, Caterpillar, and Volvo for their alleged contributions to the conflict.
Universities, including MIT and the Technical University of Munich (TUM), are highlighted for their partnerships with Israeli institutions, which the report claims contribute to the development of surveillance, crowd control, and military technologies used against Palestinians.
The report also points to international financial institutions and banks, such as BNP Paribas and Barclays, which have underwritten Israeli treasury bonds, thereby supporting the war effort.
The UN also said this week that the number of acutely malnourished children has doubled since Israel began restricting food entering the territory in March. Despite the creation of the GHF significant amounts of aid, including baby formula, is still being blocked at the border.
On Friday, the director of one field hospital said in a statement that they had an unprecedented influx of patients suffering from severe exhaustion, emaciation and acute malnutrition.
So far, 69 children have died from malnutrition during the increasing humanitarian crisis, according to the Hamas government media office.
Itâs atrocious. According to reports the aid is there, waiting to be taken in but Israelâs handling of the crisis is appalling. Theyâe stopping the food and medical supplies from entering.
you could be forgiven for thinking Netanyahu just does not care just as l ong as he can get his greedy paws on more Palestinian land.
Of all the suffering this latest conflict has created the needless suffering of women and children is the most sickening.
Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that Israel had received a âgreen light from the president of the United States to turn Gaza into a prosperous strip, a resort town with employmentâ.
âWe will occupy Gaza and make it an inseparable part of Israel,â Smotrich told a few dozen attendees at the event titled âThe Gaza Riviera - From Vision to Realityâ.
Theyâre going to get away with this, arenât they. They are going to commit the crime of the century and build a tacky shopping centre on top of it.
The ABC has brought you the scenes of babies lying silently in hospital beds, too weak to cry out as their mothers hover over them, feeling helpless because theyâre unable to breastfeed.
Weâve broadcast accounts of aid seekers, scrambling for whatever food they can grab for their families and communities.
These stories have been possible to publish because of the work of our network of talented and brave journalists and videographers who we work with on the ground â doing the legwork for us within Gazaâs borders, given Israelâs ban on foreign media entering the strip, something which is unprecedented in war coverage.
Israel consistently rejects allegations it is fuelling the hunger crisis in Gaza â instead blaming Hamas for the situation and describing accounts of such conditions inside as propaganda.
Yet in dismissing the reports emerging from the strip, it does not allow international media into Gaza to independently gather and verify information
Knighton, Starmer and everyone else in our govt and armed forces who have taken part are war criminals and guilty of genocide - they should put in prison for life
