 The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) set up by Israel with the US backing cannot be considered a humanitarian mission as it is used as a tool to intimidate and repress civilian population, Russian acting Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky said.

“We would like to draw attention to the activity of the so-called American-Israeli Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Since its establishment this May, the situation has become tragic and absolutely inadmissible. According to various estimates, more than 1,800 Palestinians have died while trying to receive humanitarian aid, with at least 1,000 of them – in the exact vicinity of aid distribution outlets run by this pseudo-humanitarian structure,” he said at a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in the Gaza Strip.
