Rights groups warn Gaza Humanitarian Foundation it may be liable for international law violations

Fifteen organizations call on GHF and other groups running aid delivery to cease operations or face legal consequences

Fifteen international human rights organisations have called on the Israel- and US-backed Gaza food delivery group, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), and other private groups running humanitarian aid delivery in Gaza to cease their operations or face legal consequences.

In a letter sent on Monday to GHF and the affiliated Safe Reach Solutions and UG Solutions, the rights advocates warned that private contractors operating in Gaza in collaboration with the Israeli government risk aiding and abetting or otherwise being complicit in crimes under international law, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide". They also noted that the contractors may be liable under US law and in other jurisdictions.
