Rejecting US GHF - non-answer to "why not as an intl. humanitarian aid org. back this structure if this is what the Govt. of Israel requires in order to feed 2M people?"

[Words Matter]

Those rejecting GHF humanitarian Aid backed by US/Israel.

An empty long blah blah non-answer to a simple question. As if it was so "humanely" when UN handled it... (Ciaran Donnelly of IRC).

Geee.

I thought it's urgent and there is no time for tests or "honor" stuff.

Nick Schifrin:

But, in some ways, if this is the structure that Israel is demanding, why not as an international humanitarian aid organization back this structure if this is what the government of Israel requires in order to feed two million people?

Ciaran Donnelly:

The starting point for our work as a humanitarian organization is a very simple principle. First, do no harm.

And a simple test for whether or not this distribution mechanism can do more good than harm hasn't yet been met. The way that it's been organized, with limited distribution sites, forcing people to concentrate themselves in fundamentally undignified and inhumane conditions to receive food, just simply doesn't meet that very basic test for good humanitarian work.

We stand ready to work with any group in any place in the world that we work in that's committed to delivering effective and principled humanitarian assistance. And we call on anyone with influence in the region and, in particular, the Israeli government to establish a mechanism for a good faith dialogue with the humanitarian community around how best to distribute effective, safe, transparent and dignified aid in Gaza.

But this structure doesn't meet that test.

HERE ARE THE REAL MAIN PROBLEMS W/ GHF

1. The first problem that some have is, because that it’s under Trump, as his enemies will object to ANYTHING associated with him.

2. The 2nd problem, that the Hamas government controlling Gaza, threatens everyone assisting by passing them.

3. UN (a) can’t admit for its failure, (b) as well as helping Hamas. (C) Or/and its “famine” accusations will vanish, they can’t have that.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation = GHF

[caseinpoint]

Just declare Gaza an ecological disaster area. It can in no way support two million residents with food produced in the area, even if the residents were willing to try. The infrastructure is crumbling with tunnels full of dangerous explosive materials undermining the buildings. It raises toxic clouds of powdered cement much like the 9-11 towers polluted the New York environment. It is unhealthy for adults, let alone growing children. Make it a superfund cleanup site, with a decades-long remedial plan and resettle the people throughout the Arabian world, preferable seeded in family groups in those countries based on where their ancestors were born.
