Gaza – SABA :
The Government Media Office in Gaza has categorically rejected recent claims by the U.S. State Department alleging that Palestinian resistance forces threw explosives at American personnel at aid distribution centers operated by the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the office described these allegations as false and misleading, serving as a blatant attempt to justify the ongoing killing and starvation of civilians in Gaza. The statement added that the U.S. narrative dangerously aligns with that of the Israeli military, which seeks to legitimize its war crimes through fabricated security justifications for excessive use of force against civilians.
The media office asserted that GHF is not a humanitarian organization, but rather an intelligence front backed by Israeli and American support, responsible for the deaths of 751 civilians and injuries to 4,931 others, in addition to 39 missing persons. These casualties occurred primarily around aid sites placed in high-risk, exposed, and militarized areas, in violation of international humanitarian law and the core principles of neutral and independent humanitarian work.
The statement accused the U.S. administration of attempting to whitewash the reputation of an entity implicated in war crimes and crimes against humanity, especially as over 130 international humanitarian organizations have refused to work with GHF, labeling it a cover for Israeli military operations, based on official assessments by UN and international bodies.
The office emphasized that the accusation against the Palestinian resistance lacks any independent investigation or credible field evidence, and is based solely on biased Israeli reports. It reminded the international community that the real ongoing crime is the deliberate deprivation of 2.4 million people of food, water, and medicine for nearly 22 months, and their targeted killing in so-called aid corridors — all under global observation.
The media office called for the immediate cessation of GHF’s operations in Gaza and demanded an independent international investigation into all crimes committed at these so-called aid sites, which it labeled death traps.
Finally, it urged the reactivation of the central role of UN agencies and humanitarian organizations operating under international humanitarian law, free from political or military manipulation of aid.
