LONDON: Doctors Without Borders has accused a controversial aid initiative in Gaza of enabling the systematic targeting and killing of civilians, it was reported on Thursday.
In a scathing new report, the medical charity — also known by its French acronym MSF— said aid distribution centers run by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation had become sites of “orchestrated killing.”
Raquel Ayora, one of the charity’s general directors, said: “In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.
“The GHF distribution sites masquerading as ‘aid’ have morphed into a laboratory of cruelty. This must stop now.”
The group is calling for GHF’s operations to be scrapped immediately and replaced with a UN-led system. It has urged governments and donors to “suspend all financial and political support for the GHF.”
