US EditionSwiss authorities exploring probe into US-backed Gaza aid group
- TRIAL International, a Switzerland-based NGO, filed legal submissions on May 20 and 21 asking Swiss authorities to investigate the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation registered in Geneva.
- The submissions requested a probe into whether GHF, a U.S.-backed group planning new aid distribution in Gaza, complies with Swiss and international humanitarian law amid UN opposition.
- GHF intends to use private security firms for aid delivery, representing a change from previous models, while the UN warns the plan risks displacing civilians and exposing them to harm.
- Philip Grant, TRIAL International’s Executive Director, stated there are "very grave issues at stake" and urged Switzerland to uphold Geneva Conventions obligations regarding GHF’s activities.
- The investigation could impact how aid is distributed in Gaza, as Israel recently resumed limited deliveries and shifted responsibility to private groups amid concerns about aid diversion to Hamas.
