The United States consider that humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip delivered by an organization that supports Israel was “a success” that could be improved, despite 27 deaths in a distribution center in the territory.

“The government is aware of these reports and we are investigating its veracity because, unfortunately, unlike some media, we do not take Hamas seriously,” White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt said at a press conference, referring to the Palestinian Islamite group that rules the Gaza Strip.
In this sense, Leavitt indicated that the US administration will investigate the matter before drawing conclusionssuggesting to journalists “that they really care about the truth that they do the same,” despite the confirmation of the Red Cross of information initially advanced by local relief organizations.

“It is unacceptable for civilians to risk it and sometimes lose their lives simply looking for food,” Stéphane Dujaric told reporters, reiterating the appeal for independent investigation and already required after similar incidents this week.
The Israelite army announced that it opened an investigation, but pushed responsibilities away.
On the morning of Tuesday, the Israeli soldiers “They fired warning shots (…) against suspects that approached in a way that put their safety at risk”said Effie Defrin, Army spokesman.
“The incident is under investigation and we will completely clarify” what happened, “he added, indicating that the army” was not blocking access from Gaza residents “to humanitarian aid distribution points.
“On the contrary, we are allowing. It is Hamas that is preventing this access,” he said.
Os Incidents with shots became almost daily After GHF has established humanitarian aid distribution points within Israeli military zones, a system that, according to the organization, aims to avoid Hamas.
The United Nations rejected the new system, claiming that It does not respond to the growing hunger crisis in the territory and allows Israel to use humanitarian aid as a weapon.
