The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Can Feed Starving Gazans
(Wall Street Journal) Johnnie Moore - All of us in the international humanitarian community are facing unprecedented challenges in Gaza. The operating environment is among the most dangerous in the world. And none of us have been able to perfectly surmount the obstacles that come with delivering aid in a war zone. At the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, with the help of our dedicated local partners and staff, we have distributed more than 91 million meals to civilians across Gaza. We've adjusted our systems when something isn't working. We launched a community distribution pilot program in response to overwhelming interest from organizations inside Gaza that want to help deliver, not just receive, aid. These partners have improved the safety and efficiency of deliveries. Food aid can be delivered in Gaza, securely and at scale. It is happening right now. If there was ever a time for unity over bureaucracy, courage over caution, pragmatism over politics, and mission over ego, it is now. The writer is executive chairman of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
