The so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” is now formally closed. Its operations, run by the United States and Israel, ceased last month as of the time of the ceasefire announcement, and today GAF Executive Director John Acree issued a statement on the permanent end of the agency. Acree bragged about the successful “new approach” GHF had pioneered, which, in fact, had been infamous for food insufficiency, inaccessibility, overall malfunction, and a death toll from IDF and other forces.
Despite its claims of providing enough meals for 500,000 people/day (less than a quarter of the population), what the GAF actually did, by its own numbers, is distribute one 40-pound box per day to a bit over 1.0% of the population (less than 1.14%). The heating oil and water necessary to turn almost all of the contents of those boxes into something edible were not generally available, and GHF made no arrangements to provide them. For this, on average, over 13 people per day were shot to death attempting to get one of the boxes.
