(289 posts)According to the report, between 7 June and 24 July 2025, 1,380 casualties, including 28 dead, were received at MSFs al-Mawasi and al-Attar clinics in southern Gaza, located near the GHF-run distribution sites. It added:
During those seven weeks, our teams treated 71 children for gunshot wounds, 25 of whom were under the age of 15. Faced with no alternatives to find food, starved families frequently send teenage boys into this lethal environment, as they are often the only males in the household physically able to make the journey.
Patients have also included a 12-year-old boy hit by a bullet that had passed all the way through his abdomen, and five young girls, one of whom was only 8 years old and suffered a gunshot wound to her chest.
Children shot in the chest while reaching for food. People crushed or suffocated in stampedes. Entire crowds gunned down at distribution points, said Raquel Ayora, MSF general director.
In MSFs nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.
The GHF distribution sites masquerading as aid have morphed into a laboratory of cruelty. This must stop now.
MSF said it called for the immediate dismantling of the GHF scheme; the restoration of the UN-coordinated aid delivery mechanism; and calls on governments, especially the United States, as well as private donors to suspend all financial and political support for the GHF.
