Gaza Humanitarian Foundation boss quits over independence concerns
- Jake Wood, who led the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, stepped down on Sunday due to concerns about preserving the organization's humanitarian independence in distributing aid to Gaza.
- Wood resigned after serving only weeks due to the organization’s agreement with an Israeli-initiated aid distribution plan widely rejected by the UN and aid groups for sidelining humanitarian principles.
- The foundation planned to deliver aid at four sites in southern and central Gaza, aiming to feed about 60% of the population, but faced criticism for lacking Palestinian involvement and potential risk of forced displacement.
- Wood emphasized his commitment to core humanitarian values and called for expanded aid efforts to prevent the starvation of half a million people in Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli blockade.
- Wood’s resignation highlights deep challenges in providing impartial humanitarian aid under the blockade while the Gaza population faces severe shortages and rising mortality from hunger and conflict.
