Palestinian Tribal Leaders Alert: ‘israeli’ Aid Zones Deemed ‘Death Traps’
The Higher Council for Tribal Affairs in Palestine issued an urgent plea on Tuesday, urging Gaza Strip residents to avoid Israeli-designated aid distribution sites. The council warned that these locations have become lethal zones, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of unarmed civilians.
The Higher Council for Tribal Affairs in Palestine issued an urgent appeal on Tuesday, urging residents of the Gaza Strip to refrain from going to aid distribution locations designated by Israeli authorities. The council cautioned that these sites have turned into lethal traps, causing the deaths of hundreds of unarmed civilians.
The Council issued a statement condemning the so-called humanitarian gathering points introduced by Israeli occupation forces, describing them as “bloody ambushes.” The statement alleges that these gathering points are strategically crafted to attract vulnerable civilians, leading to deadly assaults under the pretense of providing aid.
The Council highlighted ongoing robust coordination with international organizations to ensure the safe, dignified, and orderly provision of humanitarian assistance to the residents of Gaza.
Efforts are underway to safeguard lives and guarantee that assistance is delivered via trusted and secure avenues, maintaining the dignity of the Palestinian populace amid the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
A recent statement urged the public to steer clear of hazardous areas, emphasizing the importance of collaborating with authorities and humanitarian organizations to ensure the fair and secure distribution of essential food and medical supplies.
The Tribal Affairs Council emphasized that safeguarding lives during conflict is a responsibility that is both national and ethical. They highlighted that collective support for organized humanitarian initiatives is the most effective strategy to end the blockade and prevent additional violence.
A recent appeal has emerged in light of reports indicating that almost 400 Palestinians have been killed and over 3,000 wounded while trying to access aid from distribution centers established by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in coordination with the U.S.-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. These sites, critics argue, may be functioning as mechanisms to control, entrap, and penalize the civilian population within the blockaded area.
