• The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation runs the majority of food distribution points inside Israeli military zones, but distribution days have been marred by chaotic crowds, looting and lethal checkpoints
• United Nations officials have criticized the current aid model as “apocalyptic” and say revived aid flows are insufficient to stave off starvation
• Major UN agencies and international aid groups have refused to work with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation over concerns about neutrality and ties to military objectives
