Shutting Down the GHF: 130 NGOs Demand Action Against Controversial Aid Group

Over 130 charities call for the closure of the US-Israeli backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation amid rising casualties among Palestinians seeking aid.


A coalition of over 130 humanitarian organizations has put forth a resounding demand to dismantle the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Since its establishment in late May, the GHF has reportedly led to over 500 Palestinian fatalities related to aid seeking and has drawn significant censure from major charities worldwide.

The statement from NGOs such as Oxfam and Save the Children articulates growing concerns over the operations of the GHF, which aims to support Gazans by distributing aid but has replaced numerous independent aid points with just four military-controlled distribution sites. The GHF claims to provide critical assistance while circumventing Hamas' interference, yet, critics argue it has effectively led to a militarization of humanitarian efforts that jeopardizes civilians.

Reports indicate that Israeli forces have routinely fired upon aid seekers, with fatalities including children and caregivers. The situation has devolved into a choice between starving or risking life for essential supplies, leaving many Gazans in desperate circumstances.

The humanitarian sector has echoed the UN's condemnation of the GHF's framework, labeling it unsafe and revisionist to the existing aid distribution. The Israeli military has taken steps to modify the access points, yet the organizations involved stress that the GHF is not a plausible answer to the escalating humanitarian crisis as the violence persists.

This call for action underscores the dangerous intersection of military and humanitarian efforts in conflict zones, prompting urgent discussions about the future of aid provision in Gaza amid ongoing strife.
