The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a new Swiss-based nonprofit, said it has begun distributing food to Palestinians in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip and appointed a new executive director following earlier setbacks.

Palestinians have already received aid packages. "More trucks with aid will be delivered tomorrow, with the flow of aid increasing each day,” GHF said in a statement late Monday.
