18. SOUNDBITE (English) Jonathan Whittall, OPT Head of office, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA):
“This newly developed distribution scheme, for lack of a better phrase, is more than just the control of aid. It's essentially engineered scarcity. They'll be for distribution hubs, as we understand it, located in central and southern Gaza, secured by, by private US, security contractors, where those Palestinians that can reach them will receive minimum rations.”

28 MAY 2025, JERUSALEM
20. SOUNDBITE (English) Jonathan Whittall, OPT Head of office, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA):
“The new distribution model can't possibly meet Gaza's needs. That's clear. And knowing you're designing a plan that falls short of just basic minimum obligations under international law is essentially an upfront admission of guilt. The US backed entity that's been created to deliver on this plan, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, is essentially institute finalizing Israel's restrictions on a delivery from the outset.”

21. Various shots, crowds in proximity of distribution point
After almost 80 days of full blockade on any supplies to Gaza, the Israeli authorities launched a militarized distribution system in the south. The United Nations and NGOs have warned that the new system does not meet the needs or dignity of people in Gaza, puts them at risk, and runs contrary to humanitarian principles.
