New report calls for the end of militarized aid distribution in Gaza Read Now

The conflict in Gaza has been marked by nearly two years of abject horror, relentless violence, and dehumanization.

Throughout it all, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams have been providing care and bearing witness to the atrocities people in Gaza are enduring.

“This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing,” is a new report from MSF. It documents the horrors witnessed firsthand by MSF staff who are caring for patients following violence at sites run by the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israeli-US proxy that has militarized food distribution.

“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operation,” said Raquel Ayora, MSF Spain’s general director, “rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.”

Read our full report on violence at GHF sites and what our teams in Gaza are seeing as they work to save lives at nearby health facilities.

From June 7 to July 24, 2025, 1,380 casualties were treated at MSF’s Al-Mawasi and Al-Attar clinics in southern Gaza, near GHF-run distribution sites. In that short time, MSF teams cared for 71 children with gunshot wounds, 25 of whom were under the age of 15. An early review of the gunshot wounds strongly suggests that people near the distribution sites were purposely targeted.

GHF sites are just furthering Israeli authorities’ objectives and their ongoing genocidal campaign. These sites would not be needed if Israel ended its siege and let in aid trucks that are sitting just on the other side of the borders.

MSF calls for the immediate end of the GHF project, the restoration of the United Nations-coordinated aid delivery mechanism, and for the end of all financial and political support for the GHF. Israeli forces must end the siege on Gaza so that people can access food and other lifesaving humanitarian aid.

We continue to be guided by one goal: To provide emergency medical humanitarian care where it’s needed most. Learn more about our work in Gaza.
