Following the announcement that the "Gaza Humanitarian Aid Foundation," supported by the U.S. and Israel, has begun distributing aid, the events at the distribution point in southern Gaza have drawn significant backlash. Aerial photos show Palestinians being held in cage-like areas divided by barbed wire. This image has been compared by social media users to a symbolic photo taken in Nazi Germany.

In Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, a distribution center has been established to deliver aid to Palestinians. With the start of the aid, thousands of Gazans flocked to the area.
However, armed teams, losing control in the face of the crowd, decided to temporarily halt the aid operation. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation stated in a statement that the personnel withdrew due to the human tide.
However, gunfire was heard during the withdrawal. The administration in Gaza announced that some civilians were injured in the gunfire.
The Israeli army claimed that warning shots were fired and that civilians were not targeted.
THERE WERE CASUALTIES AT ANOTHER AID POINT
A similar incident occurred in the northern Gaza Strip. Israeli soldiers opened fire in a neighborhood where aid was being distributed.
In the attack, 3 Palestinians lost their lives, while the injured were taken to the hospital.
ISRAEL ADMITTED ITS WEAKNESS
A statement regarding the incident also came from the Israeli Prime Minister's office. It was admitted that the Israeli armed forces in charge of the aid lost control for a moment.
PALESTINIAN GOVERNMENT: CIVILIANS WERE INJURED IN THE GUNFIRE AT THE AID POINT
The statement made by the government in Gaza emphasized that the humanitarian aid process, which Israel claims to be conducting, has completely collapsed, stating:
"These centers established for limited aid are part of Israel's systematic policy of starvation and societal fragmentation. The aid distribution process has exacerbated the deliberately created humanitarian crisis and is an extension of the crime of genocide."
UN: THE IMAGES ARE HEART-WRENCHING
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stated, "We are watching the video coming from one of the distribution points established by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and frankly, these images are heart-wrenching, to say the least."
COMPARISON TO NAZI CAMPS
The images coming from the distribution point controlled by the aid foundation supported by Israel drew reactions.
Images showing numerous Palestinians being held in sections separated by cage-like wire fences were compared to a symbolic photo taken in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Nazi Germany in 1945.
AID ORGANIZATION UNDER FIRE
The "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation," which was said to have been established as a "non-profit civil society organization" in Geneva, Switzerland, in February of this year, is reportedly backed by the governments of Tel Aviv and Washington, according to news in the US and Israeli press.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and the Palestinian government in Gaza state that this foundation operates in line with the objectives of the Tel Aviv administration.
According to reports in the international press, this foundation aims to sideline the UN and other independent aid organizations in delivering aid to Gaza.
Although the foundation established in Geneva, Switzerland, is evaluated as "independent" by the US, the Executive Director of the organization, Jake Wood, announced his resignation a day before the opening ceremony.
Wood stated that implementing the aid plan was "incompatible with humanitarian principles" and that "there can be no compromise on fundamental principles such as neutrality, humanity, and independence."
ISRAEL, IS IT FORCING PALESTINIANS TO EMIGRATE UNDER THE GUISE OF AID FOUNDATION?
Since the beginning of March, Israel has been reported to be planning to force Palestinians to emigrate from the region through the organization called the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation," which has been blocking humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
Since March 2, Israel has restricted aid transfers to Gaza, plunging the population of approximately 2.4 million into hunger.
According to data from the Tel Aviv government, only 87 aid trucks have been allowed to enter Gaza since that date. However, it is stated that Gaza needs at least 500 aid and medical supply trucks daily, as well as 50 trucks of life-saving fuel.
