French minister criticizes Gaza aid system amid 1,000 hunger deaths near GHF sites since May.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot condemned the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S. and Israel-backed aid system, calling it a "scandal" and "shameful." The UN reports over 1,000 deaths from hunger-related causes near GHF sites since May. Israel acknowledges civilian harm but claims it has given better instructions to prevent incidents. France plans four humanitarian flights to Gaza. Despite easing its blockade, Israel faces criticism for insufficient aid reaching Gaza. Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since the Israeli invasion in October 2023, with malnutrition rising among children and pregnant women.
