Gaza Tension: Controversy Surrounding Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
- On May 19, Israel ended its nearly three-month restriction on aid to Gaza, after which the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing food supplies throughout the territory.
- On July 3, Gaza’s Hamas-run interior ministry strongly cautioned residents against cooperating with the U.S. and Israeli-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, accusing the group of putting civilians at risk and interfering with local aid distribution.
- The foundation charged Hamas with intentionally hindering aid distribution to Gazans outside its control, while a senior UN official reported that most of the over 400 Palestinian fatalities occurred in the vicinity of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid sites.
- GHF called claims in an Associated Press report false, stating no one was shot or injured, that gunfire heard came from the IDF away from aid-seekers, and that a contractor shown shouting was removed.
- Over 170 humanitarian organizations have called on authorities to urge Israel to discontinue using the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for aid delivery and instead channel assistance primarily through the United Nations. Meanwhile, Israel has recognized that its military actions have caused harm to civilians near aid distribution sites and has updated its operational procedures in response.
