Situation in Gaza is desperate with malnutrition cases on the rise: Save the Children director

The head of the US-backed “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” (GHF) has resigned, citing concerns over independence and impartiality. Jake Wood's resignation comes just two months after he was tasked to coordinate aid distribution in Gaza. GHF is a new organisation meant to control the delivery of aid into Gaza after Israel blocked the United Nations from entering the strip. It's backed by the US and Israel, who say it will stop Hamas from “stealing” aid. Hamas denies stealing aid. Armed American security contractors will distribute aid from collection points in southern Gaza. But there is no provision for those too sick or weakened by famine to walk long distances across the strip. The United Nations has rejected the organisation, saying it would not engage with a plan "that disrespects humanity, neutrality, independence, or impartiality". The local and international humanitarian organisations and aid workers currently active in Gaza are “very clear and united in our position” of not engaging with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), according to Rachel Cummings, humanitarian director at Save the Children.
