Bassam Zaqout, director of the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, has described the situation at the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund’s (GHF) aid distribution sites as a “death trap”.
“Honestly, it’s an inhumane act,” he told Al Jazeera from Gaza City. “It’s a war crime … shooting towards civilians directly while they are waiting for aid.”
He added that there were no clear eligibility criteria as to who should be receiving aid on any particular day.
