The new US -backed group says it has begun distribution of assistance in Gaza

He started working in Gaza.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said loads were delivered from trucks to secure sites and that it began distribution of people. Did not say where or how much help was provided.

The group, which uses armed US security artists, aims to circumvent the UN as a major supplier to assist 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza, where experts warn of an onset of hunger after Israeli blockade, which lasted 11 weeks.

The UN and many help groups have refused to cooperate with GHF plans, which they believe are contrary to humanitarian principles and seem to be “arms assistance”.

Israel says a new system is needed to stop Hamas to steal help that the group denies.

In a statement sent to journalists on Monday night, GHF announced that he “started operations in Gaza” and delivered “loading with trucks at its food areas for distribution, where the spread of the people of Gazan began.”

“More trucks will be delivered with help (Tuesday), with the flow of help is increasing daily,” he added.

Photos of distribution showed just over a dozen men carrying boxes from an unspecified place.

The BBC asked GHF how many truck loads had received help and how many people had managed to take help, but had not yet received an answer.

The GHF statement also said that John Akra, a former USAID senior manager, the US Government Agency responsible for the administering of foreign aid – was appointed as a temporary executive director.

Acree inherits Jake Wood, who resigned from the position on Sunday. Wood said that the group of assistance distribution of the group cannot work in a way that could fulfill the principles of “humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence.”

The GHF board has rejected criticism, accusing “those who benefit from the status quo” for being more focused on “tearing this than on receiving help.”

It says that the system is fully compatible with humanitarian principles and will feed a million Palestinians by the end of the week.

According to the GHF mechanism, it is expected to gather security palestinians to collect boxes containing food and basic hygiene elements for their families from a small number of distribution sites, which are mainly in southern gas. The sites will be secured by US performers, with Israeli troops patrolling the perimers.

The UN and other help agencies insist that they will not cooperate with any scheme that does not comply with the basic humanitarian principles.

They have warned that the GHF system will virtually exclude people with mobility problems, including those with injuries, disabilities and elderly, will force more displacement, expose thousands of people to harm, make help for political and military purposes, and put an unacceptable precedent to provide help worldwide.

They said they had thousands of trucks waiting to enter Gaza, and a detailed plan to ensure that the help gets people in need and the robbery is minimized.

Jan Aigland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, told the BBC on Monday that GHF was “militarized, privatized, politicized” and “not in line with neutrality”.

“The people behind him are the military are the former CIA and former military people … Let’s go back to the system that works,” he said.

Hamas warned the Palestinians not to cooperate with the GHF system, saying that “he would replace order with chaos, implement a policy of engineering hunger for Palestinian civilians, and use food as a weapon during wartime.”

GHF’s ​​statement has condemned what “Hamas death threats aimed at help groups support humanitarian operations on GHF safely distribution sites and to block Gazan’s blocking efforts to have access to sites.”

Israel imposed a total blockade of Gaza’s humanitarian aid on March 2 and resumed his military offensive two weeks later, completing a two-month termination of fire with Hamas.

It says the steps aim to put pressure on the armed group to release the 58 hostages who are still held in gas, up to 23 of which are thought to be alive.

On May 19, the Israeli military began an extended offensive, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would see that the troops “take control of all regions” of Gaza. The plan is reported to include a completely clearing north of civilians and forcibly displaces them south.

Netanyahu also said that Israel would allow “a major” amount of food in gas to prevent hunger after pressure from allies in the United States.

Since then, the Israeli authorities have claimed to have authorized at least 665 truck loads from humanitarian aid, including flour, baby food and medical supplies, in Gaza.

However, the head of the UN World Food Program warned on Sunday that the aid is only a “drop in the bucket” of what is necessary in the territory to turn the catastrophic levels of hunger, against the background of significant shortage of basic foods and an increase in prices.

Half a million people are hungry in the coming months, according to the supporting phase of the food security phase (IPC).

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas’s cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were hostage.

Since then, at least 53,977 people have been killed in Gaza, including 3,822, since Israel resumed their offensive 10 weeks ago, according to the health ministry in the territory.
