Dr. Ahmed Abuswade: 作为一名在加沙的医生，我亲眼目睹了多次因争夺食物而造成的平民伤亡事件，包括儿童。这些受害者身中枪伤，而他们仅仅是想获得食物。我强烈谴责这种针对寻求援助的平民的暴力行为，并呼吁国际社会关注加沙的人道主义危机。 David Menser: 以色列军方在食品分发点附近开火是因为一些人偏离了预定路线，对士兵构成了威胁。我们的士兵首先发出了警告，但当这些人继续前进时，我们才采取了进一步的行动。我们否认有关我们故意袭击平民的指控，并正在调查这些事件。我们致力于确保援助能够安全地送达需要帮助的人手中。 Avril Benoit: 目前加沙的援助分配系统存在严重问题。由美国和以色列支持的私人组织缺乏经验和公正性，导致了混乱和暴力。更重要的是，以色列对加沙的长期围困和对援助物资的限制加剧了人道主义危机。我认为，解决问题的关键在于恢复联合国和其他有经验的援助组织的作用，并确保援助能够公正、安全地送达所有需要帮助的人手中。我们无国界医生组织目前在当地的工作条件极其恶劣，我们的工作人员也面临着食物短缺的问题。我呼吁立即停止暴力，并允许更多援助物资进入加沙。

Tuesday morning brought another shooting near a food distribution site in Gaza — the third in as many days. This time, more than two dozen people were killed as they tried to collect emergency food aid, according to Gaza health officials and the International Committee of the Red Cross. The Israeli military acknowledged firing warning shots at "several suspects" moving toward their position, and fired additional shots at individual suspects who, they said, did not retreat. The violence may have something to do with the way Israel is now managing food distribution in Gaza. It's not how aid is typically given out in war zones.Avril Benoit, CEO of Doctors Without Borders within the U.S., explains what she sees is wrong with the new aid plan in Gaza.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org).
