The controversial US-backed aid group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), has announced that it has begun distributing food in Gaza, AFP reports.

The GHF said in a statement that it “commenced operations in Gaza today, delivering truckloads of food to its Secure Distribution Sites, where distribution to the Gazan people began.”

“More trucks with aid will be delivered tomorrow, with the flow of aid increasing each day.”

The organisation, based in Geneva since February, has promised to distribute some 300 million meals in its first 90 days of operation.
