Last year, a group of former U.S. officials and business leaders, in collaboration with Israel, proposed an unconventional plan for delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. This plan calls for the establishment of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), intended to streamline the aid process while mitigating Israeli concerns regarding Hamas interference. However, the plan has faced skepticism from various humanitarian organizations and potential donors who question its ethical implications and practical execution, particularly regarding the possible forced displacement of Palestinians and the use of biometric identity checks.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) proposes using private contractors for aid distribution, an idea met with skepticism from humanitarian groups over moral and logistical concerns.
Potential pushback against GHF's legitimacy has already emerged, with many agencies distancing themselves due to fears of enabling displacement and misusing biometrics.
As GHF prepares to launch its aid operation, the implications for the 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are significant, with famine risks escalating.
The project aims to create a secure aid distribution model amidst Israeli concerns regarding Hamas to ensure assistance reaches those in need.
