More than 130 charities and other NGOs have called for the controversial Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to be shut down.
Over 500 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid since the GHF started operating in late May, following Israel’s three-month blockade of Gaza, the organisations said. Almost 4,000 have been injured.
The organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty, said Israeli forces and armed groups "routinely" open fire on Palestinians seeking aid.
Israel denies its soldiers deliberately shoot at aid recipients, and has defended the GHF system, and said it provides direct assistance to people who need it, bypassing Hamas interference.
