US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation ends aid operations

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), supported by the US and Israel, has announced that it is suspending its aid operations in the Palestinian territory after almost six months.

The organization had already suspended its three food distribution sites in Gaza after the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect six weeks ago.

The UN and other aid agencies refused to cooperate with the GHF system, saying it was unethical and unsafe.

The GHF began operations in Gaza on May 26, a week after Israel partially eased a total blockade on aid and commercial shipments to Gaza that had lasted 11 weeks and caused severe shortages of essential supplies. Three months later, a famine was declared in Gaza City.

GHF food distribution sites in southern and central Gaza were operated by private American security contractors and were located within Israeli military zones.

The UN and its partners said the system violated fundamental humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence, and that the channeling of desperate people into militarized areas was inherently unsafe.

The UN human rights office said it recorded the killing of at least 859 Palestinians begging for food near GHF sites between May 26 and July 31. /CNA
