Israel Army Radio: The aid distribution mechanism in Gaza begins Monday
Israeli Army Radio claimed on Sunday that the new mechanism for distributing humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip will begin operating, Monday, with significant loopholes, in cooperation with private American companies.
The radio station reported that the new humanitarian aid mechanism in the Gaza Strip will begin operating tomorrow, Monday, after a one-day delay, in cooperation with private American companies.
However, the radio station noted that the new mechanism suffers from major gaps and won’t be able to meet the needs of all Gaza residents, without providing further details.
The radio station claimed that the new aid distribution mechanism includes the establishment of four distribution centers: three in Rafah (south) and one in the central Gaza Strip.
The radio station said, “These centers will cover the needs of only 1.2 million people, i.e., the residents of the southern and central Gaza Strip, while nearly one million people in the north will remain without coverage”.
According to the Israeli army radio, “contrary to what was planned, civilians will not pass through checkpoints before entering the distribution centers, meaning that Hamas members will be able to enter these centers and receive aid as well”.
Israel and the United States have recently been promoting a plan to distribute aid at specific points in southern Gaza, through a newly registered nonprofit organization in Switzerland called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
The Israeli media reports indicate that its founder is US Presidential Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff.
The Israeli Army Radio acknowledged that this plan aims to accelerate the evacuation of Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip to the southern part, in preparation for their displacement in accordance with US President Donald Trump’s plan, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared to be one of the war’s objectives.
