Switzerland may investigate US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

Switzerland is considering whether to open a legal investigation into the activities of the Geneva-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US-backed organisation planning to oversee aid distribution in the enclave, Swiss authorities told Reuters.

The decision comes after a Swiss NGO submitted a request for a probe into GHF's aid plan, which the UN has opposed on the grounds that it lacks impartiality and neutrality, contributes to the further displacement of Palestinians, and exposes thousands of people to harm.
