The head of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has defended his organisation from fierce criticism of its food delivery system and said its mission would continue even after Hamas and Israel eventually reach a ceasefire deal. The US-backed GHF began giving out meals in May after Israel had prevented all aid, food and water from entering the Gaza Strip for nearly three months. The blockade led to severe food shortages and famine warnings for the Palestinian territory’s 2.3 million residents. But scenes chaos has rocked GHF distribution sites. More than 500 people have been killed while waiting to receive rations, the UN Human Rights Office said last week.
