Overview
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it is winding down after suspending field work when the Oct. 10 ceasefire took effect and coordinating a handover to the Civil-Military Coordination Center.
- The organization claims it delivered more than 187 million meals during roughly five months and operated four heavily secured distribution sites largely in southern Gaza.
- United Nations reporting says more than 2,100 Palestinians were killed while seeking aid, including near or en route to GHF locations, with circumstances and responsibility disputed.
- The US State Department thanked GHF for sharing lessons and credited its model with helping reach a ceasefire, while Hamas welcomed the closure and urged international accountability.
- GHF maintains its system prevented diversion and looting by Hamas, whereas UN experts and many aid agencies condemned bypassing the UN-led system and warned the hub model endangered civilians.
