A Swiss-based NGO has asked authorities to investigate the activities of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US-backed organisation that plans to oversee a new model of aid distribution in the Palestinian enclave that the UN opposes.
The United Nations has said the GHF’s aid plan is not impartial or neutral, and forces further displacement and exposes thousands of people to harm, and that it will not be involved.
The GHF, which has said it hopes to start work in Gaza by the end of May, told Reuters it “strictly adheres” to humanitarian principles, and that it would not support any form of forced relocation of civilians.
