Peace activists protect Gaza-bound aid convoys from attacks by Israeli extremists | DW News
Israeli far-right extremists, many of them settlers residing in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, have been attacking aid convoys bound for the Gaza Strip. But they are met with opposition from Israeli and Palestinian peace activists — members of a group called "Standing Together," which calls for a cease-fire as well as increased humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. These activists are trying to salvage what they can after aid trucks were attacked and their shipment of food and supplies looted and vandalized. In other cases, group members have accompanied aid convoys to crossings into Gaza.
Israeli security forces have faced allegations of not stopping or even aiding the attacks. Earlier this week, the British Guardian newspaper reported on incidents in which Israeli police and soldiers had allegedly tipped off the location of aid convoys to Israeli settlers. The UN has warned that the situation in northern Gaza amounts to full-blown famine, while the International Rescue Committee (IRC) says that 100% of Gazans are facing crisis levels of food insecurity. The UN has reported that 5,600 aid trucks have entered Gaza in April via the Kerem Shalom and Rafah Crossings, but only 1,400 trucks have entered so far in May, partly due to an increase in fighting in Rafah as the Israeli military seeks to eliminate Hamas battalions in the area. UN aid agencies working in Gaza just recently said that their warehouses in Rafah are inaccessible and that they have suspended humanitarian aid distribution due to concerns over the safety of their staff and lack of supplies.
