French minister calls for end to GHF's militarised aid distribution in Gaza 

French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot has said that the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's (GHF) militarised distribution of aid has generated a bloodbath, and called for the cessation of its activities. 

“I want to call for the cessation of the activities of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the militarised distribution of humanitarian aid that has generated a bloodbath in distribution lines in Gaza, which is a scandal, which is shameful, and has to stop,” Barrot told reporters after meeting his Cypriot counterpart in Nicosia.

Since May, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,330 Palestinian aid seekers, and over 8,818 others have been wounded, mainly at the GHF distribution sites. 

Israel continues to block all aid to Gaza, which has led to at least 155 Palestinians being starved to death.
