The **Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)** is a controversial organization established in February 2025, supported by the Israeli and U.S. governments to distribute humanitarian aid in Gaza amid an escalating famine caused by the Israeli blockade[1]. Its creation aimed to bypass traditional international aid agencies, notably the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), responding to Israeli allegations—denied by UN and other aid groups—that Hamas diverted aid for military purposes[1][3]. GHF began operations in May 2025, funded with at least $30 million from the U.S., and is distinctively managed by military contractors rather than humanitarian professionals, operating under Israeli oversight without transparency or independent accountability[4]. Its model contrasts sharply with established humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, and independence, provoking widespread rejection by leading aid organizations such as UN agencies and NGOs, which refuse to participate[3][6]. Critics argue that GHF's approach militarizes aid delivery, politicizes assistance, and exposes civilians and aid workers to greater risks[3][4]. Tragically, GHF distribution sites have become deadly flashpoints. Reports from the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and human rights organizations confirm that hundreds of Palestinians—nearly 1,400 by August 2025—have been killed or injured while seeking food at or near GHF sites, with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and GHF contractors implicated in these lethal incidents[1][7][8]. These attacks have sparked international condemnation, with UN experts calling for the immediate dismantling of the GHF, describing it as an illegitimate, inhumane aid scheme that violates international humanitarian law[6][7]. The foundation’s leadership has faced internal dissent, including resignations in protest against its operations[2]. Despite its stated goal to efficiently deliver aid and prevent Hamas diversion, the GHF has failed to alleviate famine conditions, which continue to worsen, affectin
