The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), criticized by the United Nations, has initiated aid operations in southern Gaza while Israel escalates military attacks. Over 180,000 people were displaced in a short span, with a death toll exceeding 54,000. The GHF's activities, conducted under armed protection, bypass existing UN channels, raising concerns about weaponizing aid. Jens Laerke from the UN urged for reopening crossings to ensure humanitarian supplies reach those in need, while the GHF's operational approaches have faced scrutiny after leadership resignations highlight potential humanitarian principle violations.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began operations in southern Gaza despite international condemnation, with critics arguing it undermines established aid distribution processes and exacerbates displacement.
UN spokesperson Jens Laerke criticized the GHF's actions as a distraction from the essential humanitarian needs in Gaza, emphasizing the urgent requirement for the reopening of all aid crossings.
