Overview

• Created after February 11, a leaked slide deck envisioned eight large-scale camps costing over $2 billion to house, deradicalize and reintegrate Palestinians inside Gaza and at potential sites in Egypt and Cyprus.
• The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and contractor SRS have denied authoring or planning Humanitarian Transit Areas, calling the slides theoretical and not part of any active project.
• A senior U.S. administration official confirmed no resources are being directed toward such camps and that the plan is not under consideration.
• Despite a June U.S. State Department allocation of $30 million for GHF food distribution, UBS and Goldman Sachs reportedly declined to handle additional funding efforts for the broader camp proposal.
• Hamas authorities and United Nations agencies have condemned any transit camp plan as a vehicle for forced relocation and a breach of humanitarian impartiality, heightening concerns over civilian rights and governance in Gaza.
