Overview

• The House of Commons Business and Trade Select Committee, led by MP Liam Byrne, has demanded a detailed account of when BCG began its unauthorized Gaza relocation modeling and involvement in establishing the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation by July 22.
• Internal documents revealed by the Financial Times show that BCG’s “Aurora” project estimated $5 billion to relocate over 500,000 Gazans with packages valued at about $9,000 per person.
• Christoph Schweizer, BCG’s CEO, has publicly disavowed the work as expressly prohibited, confirmed that two partners were dismissed in June, and stated that no fees were collected.
• Save the Children suspended its pro bono partnership with BCG on June 13 pending an independent review into the firm’s processes that allowed staff to carry out unauthorized work for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
• Gaza health authorities allege that over 700 Palestinians have been killed at GHF distribution sites under military oversight, a claim the foundation disputes while broader scrutiny of its operations continues.
