Chief of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation resigns
The executive director of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has resigned, dealing a blow to a plan backed by the US and Israel to bring in aid to the Palestinian enclave.
“It is clear that it is not possible to implement this plan while also strictly adhering to the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence, which I will not abandon,” Jake Wood said in a statement announcing his resignation, effective immediately.
“I urge Israel to significantly expand the provision of aid into Gaza through all mechanisms,” he added.
The United States and Israel have touted GHF as the key to resolving the aid crisis in the Gaza Strip, but the United Nations and other humanitarian organisations have refused to work with the group, saying its plans will only worsen displacement in the Strip.
Wood, a former US Marine, said he had taken on the role after being approached just two months ago and that he’s proud of the work he has overseen.
