DaysofPal— The Gaza Government Media Office has issued a dire warning after the discovery of the powerful narcotic Oxycodone hidden inside flour sacks distributed through so-called U.S.-Israeli aid centers — now referred to by local officials as “death traps.”
Authorities fear the drug may have been deliberately dissolved or ground into the flour, turning basic food into a covert health weapon. “This elevates the crime to a direct assault on public health,” the office stated.
Israel was held fully responsible, with officials accusing it of using narcotics as a weapon to sow addiction, weaken social resilience, and carry out a “soft” extension of genocide against Palestinians.
The statement called this tactic part of a “dirty war”—manipulating hunger to inject poison into relief supplies—warning it constitutes a war crime and a grave violation of international law.
Citizens were urgently advised to avoid these distribution centers, inspect all food thoroughly, and report anything suspicious. The centers, the statement warned, are not relief points, but “tools of mass entrapment.”
Families were urged to educate children about the danger of these sites, and the need for community vigilance as the “first line of defense.”
The media office called on the UN Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court to shut down the centers, which it said have become “daily instruments of murder and deliberate extermination.”
It also demanded the end of the Israeli blockade and a return to legitimate aid routes via UN agencies like UNRWA, free from Israeli interference.
Revealing the scale of the disaster, the statement noted that in just one month, these centers have led to 549 deaths, 4,066 injuries, and 39 disappearances among desperate aid seekers — a toll the office called “unprecedented in the history of humanitarian work.”
