Palestinians face ‘systematic starvation, militarised aid’: UK charity
The UK-based charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) has slammed the US-and-Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as “state violence disguised as humanitarianism”.
In a series of posts on X, the group said Gaza’s hospitals “are overwhelmed with blood supplies nearly exhausted, and staff pushed far beyond their limits” as a result of the Israeli blockade.
“MAP’s team at Nasser Hospital reports that the nutrition crisis is now so severe that it is preventing people from safely donating blood – a tragic and avoidable consequence of systematic starvation,” it said.
The organisation also called on the British government to suspend all weapons transfers to Israel as the country has “militarised aid”.
“The UK must help enforce a ceasefire, suspend all arms transfers to Israel, and support genuine accountability for attacks on civilians and the systemic denial of aid,” MAP said.
