Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announces end of 'mission' in Gaza

The controversial Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) has announced the end of its "mission" in Gaza.

The GHF began closing its food distribution sites in the enclave last month after the UN was allowed to resume some deliveries in Gaza.

Hundreds of Palestinians were shot dead at sites run by the group, who were backed by the US and Israel and widely condemned by other aid agencies.

“This mission was designed to show that humanitarian aid can be delivered efficiently, safely, and transparently even in the most challenging conflict zones,” said GHF Executive Director John Acree in a statement.

“With the support of the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) and the broader international community, we have successfully demonstrated a new standard for aid operations in Gaza.”
