Israeli, US-backed Gaza aid group must end, say 130 charities

In late May 2024, a US- and Israeli-supported initiative took over aid distribution in Gaza by establishing four military-guarded hubs, replacing the previous network of 400 UN-managed distribution points.
Israel imposed a near-total blockade on Gaza for nearly three months and sought this new aid system to prevent Hamas from siphoning off supplies, amid accusations of aid diversion.
The GHF aid system limits food distribution to a few guarded hubs, forcing two million Gazans to travel dangerous long distances for aid, amid reports of daily gunfire and chaos.
Gaza's Health Ministry documents over 500 Palestinians killed and 4,000 injured while seeking aid at GHF sites in its first month, with the UN Human Rights Office describing likely war crimes.
More than 165 major charities including Oxfam, Save the Children, and Amnesty demanded stopping the GHF and returning to UN-led aid, citing humanitarian violations and civilian risks.
