Center for Constitutional Rights Files FOIA for US Records on Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Funding

The FOIA demands records from the State Department/USAID on a $30 million grant exempted from audits after reports of lethal shootings at fenced Gaza aid hubs.

Overview

  • The request covers all State Department and USAID files on GHF from October 1, 2024 to present, including its creation, leadership, financing and ties to Boston Consulting Group, Safe Reach Solutions and UG Solutions
  • USAID’s $30 million grant for GHF was approved without the standard audit for first-time grantees, raising concerns over financial oversight
  • GHF runs fenced, biometric-screened distribution hubs guarded by US contractors, a model boycotted by major UN agencies over breaches of humanitarian neutrality
  • Reports attribute at least 613 Palestinian deaths and more than 4,000 injuries in six weeks to Israeli forces firing on crowds at GHF sites
  • Human rights experts warn that GHF’s alignment with an Israeli displacement strategy could expose its backers to war crimes or crimes against humanity investigations
