"GHF's model, in which Hamas could no longer loot and profit from stealing aid, was significantly influential in convincing militant groups to participate and establishing a truce."

Feedback and Statements

Hamas - which denies stealing aid - approved the termination of the GHF, as indicated by media.

A representative of stated GHF should be made responsible for the negative impact it created to Gazans.

"We request all international human rights organisations to make certain that consequences are faced after causing the death and injury of thousands of Gazans and obscuring the nutritional restriction approach practised by the Israel's administration."

Foundation History

The organization commenced activities in Gaza on 26 May, a short period subsequent to Israel had partially eased a total blockade on humanitarian and trade shipments to Gaza that lasted 11 weeks and resulted in critical deficits of necessary provisions.

Subsequently, a food crisis was announced in the Palestinian urban center.

Relief Agency Issues

The foundation stated there were no firearm incidents at the relief locations and alleged that United Nations of using "inaccurate and deceptive" statistics from the Gazan medical department controlled by militant factions.

Ongoing Situation

The organization's continuation had been indefinite since Palestinian factions and Israeli authorities consented a truce agreement to carry out the first phase of the United States' reconciliation proposal.

It said relief provision would take place "without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the humanitarian medical organization, in addition to other worldwide bodies not associated in any manner" with Palestinian factions and Israeli authorities.

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stated recently that the organization's termination would have "no impact" on its activities "because we never worked with them".

The spokesperson additionally stated that while increased relief was entering the region since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October, it was "not enough to satisfy all requirements" of the over two million inhabitants.
