Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to launch operations in Strip by end of May
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has announced it will launch operations in Gaza before the end of the month, adding that Israel has agreed to expand the number of “Secure Distribution Sites” to serve the Strip’s entire population, according to a statement.
In a letter to the Israeli government, the foundation’s executive director, Jake Wood, requested that Israel facilitate the flow of enough aid using existing modalities to Gaza until it is fully operational.
US officials announced the GHF’s establishment last week to implement a new aid distribution system, supplanting the current one run by the United Nations and other international aid agencies.
According to reports, under the proposal, private contractors will be used to secure hubs where Palestinians will be required to gather to collect supplies.
Israel, which has halted the entry of all aid to Gaza since March 2, deepening the humanitarian crisis, has previously said it will not relax the blockade until a system is in place that gives it control over the distribution, insisting that supplies are used to support Hamas.
UN officials have slammed the proposal, saying that aid distribution must be independent, impartial and neutral, in line with humanitarian principles.

Nice guy.... he was executive director of ANIF before this new scam:
Sketchy Track Record: $6.9 Million and the Armenian National Interests Fund’s Moscow Branch
https://hetq.am/en/article/173101
The Moscow branch office of the Armenian National Interests Fund (ANIF), a foreign direct investment fund operating under the government of Armenia (better known as ANIF), received an allocation of AMD 2.7 billion from ANIF between 2020 and 2024, but the fund’s current management does not have any information about the projects implemented by this branch.

During Avinyan's term, from 2019 to 2024, ANIF’s executive director was David Papazian, who was dismissed from his position in January 2024 by the new board of directors.
Five years after the company's creation, in the spring of 2024, Pashinyan's government decided to begin the process of terminating ANIF's activities. Today, ANIF still exists and operates, but its inglorious end is not far off.
Here's more on the background of the rest of the GHF
At best it's another aid pier failure, at worst it's just another scam beginning with delays and more delays.
