In the wake of international outrage over the deaths of dozens of Palestinians near U.S.-supported aid distribution centers in Gaza, the organization responsible for delivering this aid has quietly named a new leader: an evangelical Christian with connections to the former U.S. administration.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, established last year, announced on Tuesday that Johnnie Moore, an American public relations expert, would assume the role of executive chairman following the resignation of the previous leader.
Moore’s appointment coincides with the foundation’s temporary suspension of aid distribution on Wednesday to focus on improving internal organization and operational efficiency. The foundation has been shaken by staff resignations, disorder at distribution points, and violent incidents nearby, including two shootings that resulted in numerous Palestinian fatalities, according to local medical officials.
Here is a brief overview of Johnnie Moore and his background.
