Gaza Aid Efforts Under Fire: Who's Really Helping?

In Gaza, a heated debate is happening about how aid is being delivered. The U. N. agency helping Palestinian refugees, led by Philippe Lazzarini, has strong words for a new aid group backed by the U. S. and Israel. Lazzarini calls it a "death trap, " saying it's causing more harm than good. People in Gaza are struggling. Many have died while trying to get food from these aid sites. Families are mourning loved ones who were shot while waiting for help. Some say the aid sites are dangerous traps, luring young people with promises of food, only for them to be killed. The aid group, called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), says things are running smoothly. They claim the U. N. and Gaza's health ministry are spreading false information. GHF wants other groups to join them, but many refuse, saying the system is flawed. Meanwhile, Israel and the U. S. support GHF, saying it stops Hamas from taking aid. But others argue it's just another way to control who gets help. The situation is messy, with no clear solution in sight. The U. N. agency, UNRWA, has been providing aid for years, but now faces accusations and funding cuts. Lazzarini warns that without support, their services will suffer, making things even worse for Palestinians.
