  1. > The CEO of the new Israeli- and US-backed organization that was supposed to begin managing the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza in the coming days has resigned.

    > “I am proud of the work I oversaw, including developing a pragmatic plan that could feed hungry people, address security concerns about diversion, and complement the work of longstanding NGOs in Gaza,” Gaza Humanitarian Foundation CEO Jake Wood said in a statement on Sunday.

    > “However, it is clear that it is not possible to implement this plan while also strictly adhering to the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence, which I will not abandon,” he added.

  2. Wow I didn’t expect to read something like that. How much stronger of an indictment of this crap can you get?

    Fair play to the guy for resigning and being clear about why he was doing it.
