Israel Controversial Gaza foundation GHF stops work in Gaza
The controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is supported by the USA and Israel, is finally ending its work in the Gaza Strip six weeks after the start of the ceasefire. After distributing more than 187 million meals to residents of the coastal strip, the foundation is ending its work, the organization announced. It has proven "that there is a better way to provide aid to the people of Gaza", said GHF CEO John Acree.

The foundation has been in talks for weeks with international organizations and the US-led Civil Military Coordination Centre (CMCC) in southern Israel, which is supposed to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. "It is clear that they will adopt and expand the model tested by the GHF," Acree reportedly said.
The GHF began its operation in the sealed-off coastal area in May after an almost three-month Israeli blockade of aid supplies. At the time, Israel accused the Islamist Hamas of stealing humanitarian aid. The GHF was intended as a means of circumventing this, as well as an alternative for other aid organizations that Israel is critical of.
During the entire four-and-a-half-month operation, not a single aid truck belonging to the foundation was looted, according to the GHF statement. However, there were repeated reports of fatal incidents near the distribution points operated by the GHF.
Hamas welcomed the end of the GHF's operation. It had collaborated with Israel and used a distribution mechanism that was "completely detached from humanitarian principles", according to the terrorist organization's statement. This had created "dangerous and degrading conditions" for the starving Palestinian population.
