Aid Groups Warn: Israeli Plan Could Forcibly Displace Gazans

For two months, Israel has blocked food, water, fuel, and medicine from entering Gaza — saying it must prevent Hamas from taking aid meant for civilians. Now, a new Israeli proposal to control aid distribution has humanitarian groups sounding the alarm. According to 40 pages of internal notes obtained by AP, Israel’s plan would create 5 tightly controlled aid hubs south of the Netzarim Corridor, cutting off northern Gaza entirely. Aid groups fear this will force civilians to move, violating international law and creating “de facto internment” zones. Worse, Israel wants to vet both aid workers and recipients — potentially banning groups critical of its policies. And it’s floated using private U.S. security firms to manage aid distribution. Aid workers say: “Israel has the responsibility to facilitate our work — not weaponize it.” With 2.1 million lives at stake, NGOs are pushing back. But Israel has stayed silent — and the siege tightens. 📌 Humanitarian princi
