The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation paused operations due to threats from Hamas, affecting aid distribution to hungry Gazans. GHF remains committed to independent aid delivery and is adapting to ensure safety amidst ongoing disruptions and overcrowding issues.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced on Saturday that they were pausing operations on Saturday and it was because of threats made against the organisation and its workers by Hamas.
“Hamas is the reason hundreds of thousands of hungry Gazans were not fed today. The group issued direct threats against GHF operations. These threats made it impossible to proceed today without putting innocent lives at risk,” the statement read. “Hamas wants to return to a broken system it once controlled and exploited—diverting aid, manipulating distribution, and putting its own agenda ahead of the Palestinian people’s basic needs. However, GHF will not be deterred.”
“We remain committed to safe, secure, and independent aid delivery. We are actively adapting our operations to overcome these threats and fully intend to resume distributions without delay.”
