Amid the escalating violence in Gaza, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has announced the closure of its operations, citing the extreme challenges posed by the ongoing conflict. The organization had been tirelessly working to deliver millions of meals to displaced and starving families, with its efforts reaching even the most isolated corners of the enclave. However, these efforts have been overshadowed by the tragic loss of life, with reports indicating that some Palestinians were killed while attempting to access the humanitarian aid. The foundation expressed deep concern over the situation, emphasizing that the delivery of aid has become increasingly perilous as the conflict intensifies.
In August, the foundation conducted a major distribution operation, providing meals to hundreds of families at a distribution center in central Gaza. Despite the efforts to ensure safe access to food, the situation on the ground has deteriorated significantly. The foundation called for an immediate humanitarian pause to allow for the safe delivery of aid to those in need. The closure of their operations marks a devastating loss for the community, which has relied heavily on the foundation’s efforts to sustain itself during the crisis. The foundation also urged the international community to provide additional support to help alleviate the suffering of the people in Gaza.
