Mourning a person who was killed on Thursday when Gaza residents rushed toward aid trucks and Israeli forces guarding the convoy opened fire.
Its bombing campaign and ground invasion have decimated Hamas’s control over northern Gaza, leaving both a gaping security vacuum and a humanitarian catastrophe.
U.N. aid convoys carrying essential goods to northern Gaza have been suspended for days.
Like Mr. Aqel, Mr. Khoudary said that he had organized some of the trucks that transported aid as part of the relief initiative involving Israel.
Some were aid trucks he had dispatched, while others were organized by other contractors, he said.
