Gaza Humanitarian Foundation | Aid as a Weapon

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, MAY 30 – The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed over 2 million meals but faces criticism for politicizing aid and operating under Israeli military oversight, amid rising hunger risks.

  • On May 29, 2025, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing aid at four Israeli-approved sites in southern Gaza after a nearly three-month blockade by Israel prevented aid entry.
  • The GHF was created through private meetings of officials with Israeli ties and is backed by the U.S. and Israel, aiming to sidestep established UN mechanisms which the UN strongly rejected.
  • Aid distribution faced unrest as thousands of starving Palestinians overwhelmed centers, causing injuries and deaths, while critics said the scheme limits reach, militarizes aid, and offers under-caloric meals below UN standards.
  • The GHF said it distributed two million meals with 1,750 calories each, costing $1.30 apiece, and plans to open more sites despite concerns that this model politicizes aid and treats starvation as a bargaining chip.
  • Humanitarian groups and UN officials warned that GHF’s approach risks undermining impartial aid, exposes civilians to harm in an active conflict zone, and that effective relief requires broad, sustained access under experienced management.
