GHF says security at distribution sites will improve as more food enters Gaza

Once more food reaches Gazans, security and order will improve at distribution sites, the new US- and Israeli-backed aid organization tells The Times of Israel.

“Ultimately the solution is more aid, which will create more certainty and less urgency among the population,” says a spokesperson for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. “There is not yet enough food to feed everyone in need in Gaza.”

The organization’s current focus is to feed as many people as safely possible “within the constraints of a highly volatile environment,” says the spokesperson.

“We are doing it successfully day after day even as other aid organizations continue to lose all of their aid convoys to looting,” the spokesperson continues, claiming that today, GHF delivered more than 2 million meals while all 58 trucks from other organizations were totally looted.

“Once food security improves, we will begin to strengthen systems for safer, more orderly and equitable distribution,” the official concludes.

The organization has come under criticism for chaos at its sites, for working closely with the IDF, and for regular reports that Israeli forces are using deadly violence against civilians making their way to aid sites.
