Gaza aid group, mired in controversy, begins operating DW 05/27/2025
Briefly

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US-backed initiative, has begun distributing aid in Gaza despite backlash from the humanitarian sector and its own executive director's resignation. With operations starting amidst restrictions, the GHF aims to distribute 300 million meals and serve one million Palestinians within a week. Registered in Geneva, its controversial operations lack the support of traditional aid organizations, raising concerns about adherence to humanitarian principles. As GHF moves forward with aid efforts, the absence of established groups further complicates the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
GFH's operations, sanctioned by Israel and the US, have drawn sharp criticism from humanitarian groups and led to the resignation of its executive director.
Despite the announcement of food and medical distribution, seasoned humanitarian organizations remain blocked from Gaza, raising questions about the motives and efficacy of GHF.
