Overview
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation assumed control of food aid in late May, replacing UNRWA under Israeli oversight and refusing cooperation with major UN agencies.
- UN reports and medical authorities confirm that more than 410 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 3,000 injured at GHF distribution points since operations began.
- UN human rights officials accuse Israeli forces of weaponizing hunger by blocking established aid channels and militarizing food deliveries in Gaza.
- UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says his agency faces collapse without a $200 million funding boost and is considering transferring services to Palestinian-run institutions.
- The US has allocated an initial $30 million to GHF while withholding support for UNRWA, deepening divisions among aid providers and exacerbating shortages.
