The Doctors Without Borders (MSF) charity has called for a controversial Israel and US-backed relief effort in Gaza to be halted, saying it is “slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid”, AFP reports.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, launched last month, “is degrading Palestinians by design, forcing them to choose between starvation or risking their lives for minimal supplies”, MSF says in a statement, demanding that the scheme be “immediately dismantled”.
