Overview

  • BCG confirmed it billed more than $1 million for advising a US-backed maritime aid effort transporting food from Cyprus to Gaza outside the UN system.
  • The firm denies receiving payment for Gaza Humanitarian Foundation relocation modelling and says it halted those efforts when management learned of them.
  • Two senior partners, Matt Schlueter and Ryan Ordway, resigned in June after internal backlash and media exposés of BCG’s Gaza activities.
  • Save the Children has suspended its partnership pending a review and UN agencies have criticised the projects for bypassing established humanitarian coordination.
  • Palestinian health officials report over 800 fatalities near GHF-run distribution sites, a figure the foundation contests.
