Hamas warns Palestinians against cooperating with U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
CAIRO, July 3 (Reuters) - The Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza on Thursday warned residents of the coastal enclave not to assist the U.S.-and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, saying deadly incidents near its food distribution sites endangered hungry Gazans. "It is strictly forbidden to deal with, work for, or provide any form of assistance or cover to the American organization (GHF) or its local or foreign agents," an interior ministry statement said. "Legal action will be taken against anyone proven to be involved in cooperation with this organization, including the imposition of the maximum penalties stipulated in the applicable national laws," it added, without giving further details. The GHF said in a statement in response that it had delivered million of meals "safely and without interference." "This statement from the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry confirms what we've known all along: Hamas is losing control," the GHF said. The GHF began distributing food packages in Gaza at the end of May, overseeing a new model of deliveries which the United Nations says is neither impartial nor neutral. Since Israel lifted an 11-week aid blockade on Gaza on May 19, the United Nations says more than 400 Palestinians have been killed while seeking handouts of aid. A senior U.N. official said on Sunday that the majority of people killed were trying to reach aid distribution sites of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Israel's military acknowledged on Monday that Palestinian civilians had been harmed near the distribution centres and that its forces had been issued with new instructions following what it called "lessons learned." Israel has said its forces operate near the centres in order to prevent the aid from falling into the hands of militants, which Hamas denies. More than 170 international humanitarian groups signed a letter this week calling on governments to press Israel to end use of the GHF to deliver aid and return to letting in aid mainly through U.N.-run channels. The GHF has said it has delivered more than 52 million meals to hungry Palestinians in five weeks, while other humanitarian groups had "nearly all of their aid looted."

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says two of its US aid workers injured in Gaza
JERUSALEM, July 5 (Reuters) - The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said on Saturday that two American aid workers had suffered non-life-threatening injuries in a targeted attack at a food distribution site in Gaza. The U.S.- and Israeli-backed GHF said in a statement that the injured Americans were receiving medical treatment and were in a stable condition. "The attack – which preliminary information indicates was carried out by two assailants who threw two grenades at the Americans – occurred at the conclusion of an otherwise successful distribution in which thousands of Gazans safely received food," the GHF said. In addition to aid workers, the GHF employs private U.S. military contractors tasked with providing security at their sites. It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack. The Israeli military had no immediate comment when contacted by Reuters. The Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza on Thursday had warned residents of the coastal enclave not to assist the GHF, saying deadly incidents near its food distribution sites endangered hungry Gazans. The GHF began distributing food packages in Gaza at the end of May, bypassing traditional aid channels, including the United Nations which says the U.S.-based organisation is neither impartial nor neutral. The GHF has said it has delivered more than 52 million meals to Palestinians in five weeks, while other humanitarian groups had "nearly all of their aid looted". Since Israel lifted an 11-week aid blockade on Gaza on May 19, the U.N. says more than 400 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid handouts. A senior U.N. official said last week that the majority of people killed were trying to reach aid distribution sites of the GHF. Footage released by GHF has shown at least one aid site to be overrun with no clear distribution process. Palestinians have described the sites as chaotic.

Lisa Nandy asked BBC why no one was fired for airing Gaza documentary featuring son of Hamas official
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy asked the BBC why nobody has been fired for airing a Gaza documentary which featured the son of a Hamas official. Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone was originally aired in February but it was pulled by the broadcaster after it emerged the son of a Hamas minister featured prominently. The documentary's narrator Abdullah al-Yazouri was the son of the deputy minister of agriculture in the Hamas-run government. Another child in the film was the daughter of a former captain in the Hamas-run police force, while a third child was pictured posing with Hamas fighters - prompting allegations the BBC was providing a propaganda platform for the terror group. Speaking to The Times, Ms Nandy described feeling 'exasperated' as she called for an 'adequate explanation from the BBC about what has happened'. 'I have not had that from the chair or director-general yet,' she said. She added: 'I have been very clear that people must be held accountable for the decisions that were taken. I have asked the question to the board (of the BBC). Why has nobody been fired? 'What I want is an explanation as to why not. If it is a sackable offence then obviously that should happen. 'But if the BBC, which is independent, considers that it is not, I think what all parliamentarians want to know is why.' Ms Nandy's comments come ahead of a review into Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone, which is reportedly set to be published next week. It is expected to determine whether any editorial guidelines were broken, and whether any disciplinary action is needed. The BBC will also undertake a full audit of expenditure on the programme. A BBC spokesperson said: 'The findings of the review will be published as soon as possible. 'As we have said previously, it is vital that this work is done as quickly as possible but it must also be thorough and follow a proper process.' The review led the broadcaster to delay and then pull entirely another documentary from the region, Gaza: Doctors under Attack, which has since been broadcast on Channel 4. The documentary was originally commissioned by the BBC more than a year ago but paused its production in April and was eventually aired by Channel 4 on Wednesday. Channel 4 said it had fact-checked the documentary to ensure that it meets its editorial standards and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code It is a one off-documentary that examines allegations that Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted hospitals in breach of international law. The programme was made by two-time Emmy-winning journalist Ramita Navai, fellow two-time Emmy-winning director Karim Shah and ex-Channel 4 News Editor Ben De Pear, who is the executive producer of Basement Films, which was commissioned by the BBC to create the film. Channel 4 said it had fact-checked the documentary to ensure that it meets its editorial standards and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The film reports that every one of Gaza's 36 main hospitals has now been attacked or destroyed by Israel, with people forced to evacuate and healthcare workers reportedly killed, imprisoned and tortured. BBC staff are said to be in uproar over the decision not to show the programme on its channels, which is thought to have been made by director general Tim Davie. Ms Nandy also added that she thinks the BBC has to 'get a grip' following the livestreamed Glastonbury performance from punk rap duo, Bob Vylan. The group have been dropped by a number of music events since the singer Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their Saturday afternoon set at Glastonbury and which are now being investigated by police. 'The BBC leadership have got to get a grip on it,' Ms Nandy said. 'It makes me angry on behalf of the BBC staff and the whole creative industries in this country. 'Particularly the Jewish community, who deserved far better than what happened at the weekend. Action has to be forthcoming.' Punk band Bob Vylan said that they were being 'targeted for speaking up' after being criticised for chanting 'Death, death to the IDF' at Glastonbury. Bobby Vylan, one half of the British rap punk duo, led the audience at the festival in Somerset on Saturday in chants that also included 'Free, free Palestine'. The performance at the West Holts Stage was livestreamed by the BBC but the organisation later expressed regret for not stopping its broadcast of the set. The corporation has faced strong criticism for continuing to livestream the performance on iPlayer with on-screen warnings about discriminatory language. Avon and Somerset Police said it had launched a probe into the performance after reviewing video footage and audio recordings, with a senior detective appointed to lead the investigation. A police spokesman said: 'This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage.
