Overview

  • The German Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières have refused to cooperate with GHF, labeling its distribution centers “death traps” and demanding their closure.
  • Berlin’s federal government has voiced serious concern over daily reports of civilian deaths and injuries at GHF food distribution sites.
  • Israel’s military prosecutor has opened investigations into possible war crimes involving the shooting of civilians at GHF hubs.
  • Multiple shootings and artillery fire at GHF centers since early June have killed and injured dozens of aid seekers.
  • The private U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was launched to bypass Hamas control after a prolonged blockade, but its militarized approach has sparked calls for a return to neutral, independent relief channels.
