The head of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), Johnnie Moore, defended the organization's controversial aid operation amid accusations of numerous Palestinian deaths near aid distribution sites. Moore denied that 100% of casualties were attributable to GHF, blaming the UN for spreading unverifiable information. The UN Secretary-General called the operation inherently unsafe, citing over 500 Palestinian deaths and 4000 injuries. Israel's IDF denied deliberately targeting civilians but admitted to investigating operational responses. Despite criticism, the US State Department recently provided $30 million in funding to GHF, which aims to provide 50 million meals in Gaza, though this falls short of daily needs.
