DaysofPal — The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, Balakrishnan Rajagopal, has condemned the current system of aid distribution in Gaza, describing it as “sadistic” and labeling it an “American-Israeli crime.”
Rajagopal stated that humanitarian aid in Gaza is no longer a lifeline but has become a method of humiliation and indirect killing.
“I have no words for the sadistic spectacle of aid delivery in Gaza,” he wrote on X.
The Israeli army had earlier announced the opening of two aid centers in Tel al-Sultan and along the “Morag Axis” in Rafah, as part of what it called a “gradual opening” of four such facilities across southern Gaza. However, this plan has been firmly rejected by the United Nations and various humanitarian organizations, which argue that it undermines proper aid delivery mechanisms.
Meanwhile, the Government Media Office in Gaza reported a massacre at one of these so-called “aid centers” in Rafah, stating that Israeli forces opened fire on starving civilians. The attack killed at least three people, injured 46, and left seven others unaccounted for.
