The US-Israeli Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has begun to dismantle after killing thousands of Palestinians in the past months during a failed mission worth tens of millions. 

GHF began “dismantling their sites in the Netzarim Corridor in Gaza,” eyewitnesses told Quds News Network (QNN) on 9 October. 

Video footage circulating on social media showed bulldozers working near one of the GHF sites in Gaza. 

The news comes as a ceasefire deal has gone into effect, ending the two-year Israeli genocide against Palestinians, which unfolded after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in October 2023. 

As part of the 20-point Trump plan announced last month, GHF’s mission will come to an end, and the UN and other international aid organizations will resume humanitarian aid deliveries across the strip. 

Around 3,000 Palestinians have been killed since GHF was established in May in an effort to bypass the UN, which, along with other organizations, refused to take part in the plan for ethical reasons. 

GHF failed to deliver adequate amounts of aid to starving Palestinians. For months, aid seekers were shot dead by Israeli troops on a near-daily basis as they approached the sites, which were run by US security contractors under extremely unorganized conditions. 

The US mercenaries also contributed to the violence, according to multiple testimonies from anonymous contractors. 

Washington provided $30 million in direct funding for the deadly aid scheme, which was frequently referred to as a “death trap.” GHF said it received a $100-million commitment from an unnamed foreign government donor. Reports from earlier this year also claimed Israel allocated about $280 million to GHF.

As the ceasefire took effect, thousands of Palestinians returned to their homes in different parts of Gaza, witnessing unprecedented destruction caused by Israel. 

The Israeli army has withdrawn from the strip’s population centers ahead of a prisoner exchange expected in the next 72 hours. 

Many of the ceasefire agreement’s details remain unclear, as Hamas has rejected Israel’s term that it must disarm. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to resume the war if his demands are not met.
