Criticized aid is underway in Gaza. The private aid organization Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) claims to have begun operations in Gaza, reports AP. Earlier on Monday, there were reports that the operations would be delayed. The organization is supported by Israel and the USA and is part of a new distribution system for aid in Gaza. The purpose is to prevent the terror-designated Hamas from seizing aid, according to Israel. However, the UN and other aid organizations have criticized the new system for being ineffective. On Monday, GHF's CEO Jake Wood announced that he is leaving the organization, according to The Guardian. He says that the organization could not fulfill its mission while adhering to 'humanitarian principles.' See the article on SVT Nyheter.
