Overview

  • Since its May 26 launch, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed over 2.1 million meals, aiming to curb alleged Hamas diversions.
  • The United Nations and major NGOs have refused to cooperate, contending that private US security contractors and fortified sites breach humanitarian neutrality.
  • Journalists and Palestinians at GHF sites report zero identification checks, with criminal gangs paying for bulk collections to resell aid boxes.
  • UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric warns that Gaza faces its worst crisis since the war began 19 months ago despite the resumption of limited UN-led aid convoys.
  • Aid organizations criticize GHF’s militarized distribution and non-therapeutic food parcels and urge a scale-up of proven UN-run relief operations.
