# The head of an organisation set up to distribute aid in Gaza as part of a controversial Israel-backed plan has resigned. The former US Marine, Jake Wood, quit the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, saying it would not be able to fulfil the principles of “humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence”. In response, the Foundation said it would “not be deterred” by Wood’s resignation and would continue deliveries with an aim to reach one-million Palestinians by the end of the week. The plan is heavily criticised by the United Nations who refuses to participate.
