The GHF aimed to avoid UN systems as the primary provider of relief to Palestinian residents.

UN and other aid agencies declined to participate with its system, stating it was unethical and unsafe.

The Israeli military claimed its troops fired warning shots.

The GHF's executive director, the foundation leader, further mentioned the United States-operated coordination body - which has been established to help implement the United States' Palestinian peace proposal - would be "adopting and expanding the system the foundation tested".

"The organization's system, in which Hamas could no longer loot and profit from stealing aid, had major impact in getting Hamas to the table and establishing a truce."

Reactions and Responses

Hamas - which denies stealing aid - approved the termination of the GHF, according to reports.

A representative of stated GHF should be made responsible for the damage it inflicted to local residents.

"We request all global human rights groups to make certain that consequences are faced after leading to casualties and wounds of thousands of Gazans and concealing the food deprivation strategy practised by the Israeli authorities."

Operational Background

The organization commenced activities in Gaza on May 26th, a week after the Israeli government had moderately reduced a complete restriction on relief and commercial goods to Gaza that continued for 77 days and resulted in critical deficits of necessary provisions.

After 90 days, a famine was declared in Gaza City.

The foundation's nourishment distribution centers in the southern and middle regions of Gaza were managed by US private security contractors and situated within areas controlled by Israeli forces.

Humanitarian Concerns

Future Implications

The GHF's future had been unclear since Palestinian factions and Israeli authorities consented a ceasefire deal to execute the primary segment of the United States' reconciliation proposal.

It said aid distribution would take place "without interference from the both sides through the UN organizations and their partners, and the international relief society, in conjunction with other international institutions not linked whatsoever" with Hamas and Israel.

UN spokesperson the UN spokesman stated recently that the GHF's shutdown would have "zero effect" on its activities "as we never partnered with them".

The official further mentioned that while more aid was getting into Gaza since the truce was implemented on October 10th, it was "inadequate to meet all the needs" of the 2.1 million population.
