BCG Launches Internal Probe over Work on Gaza Aid Overhaul
- Boston Consulting Group canceled its contract in 2025 with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US and Israel-backed aid group operating in Gaza.
- In October 2024, BCG partnered with GHF to assist in creating an aid organization designed to coordinate with broader humanitarian efforts, a plan that received approval from Israel and the US to ensure aid is not intercepted by Hamas.
- The cancellation followed unapproved follow-on work lacking multilateral support, a week after Executive Director Jake Wood resigned, and the partner responsible was placed on administrative leave.
- In just over a week, GHF provided more than seven million meals; however, its highly regulated aid distribution system has drawn criticism from the UN and others for potentially putting civilians at risk and contributing to increased displacement.
- The cancellation and ongoing Israeli-Palestinian violence near GHF sites highlight the complexity of aid delivery in Gaza and raise concerns about the organization's role and safety practices.
