The Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF), an Israeli and US-backed aid distribution organization, has officially concluded its operations in Gaza, as announced by its executive director, John Acree, on Monday. The organization, which has been linked to the deaths and injuries of over 2,600 Palestinians, faced widespread criticism from global aid networks despite claims of setting new standards in aid delivery. GHF’s mission, which began in late May, aimed to demonstrate efficient and transparent humanitarian aid delivery in conflict zones, supported by the Civil-Military Coordination Centre (CMCC) and the international community. However, its militarized approach and lack of direct aid provision led to significant challenges for Gaza’s population. Palestinians were required to travel long distances to GHF’s four distribution sites in the south, often risking injury or death from armed Israeli soldiers and US security contractors. Whistleblowers and social media reports allege deliberate shootings of aid seekers. Despite GHF’s denial of casualties, Gaza’s health ministry reported over 2,600 deaths and 19,182 injuries during its operations. Questions about GHF’s funding sources persist, with a lawsuit filed in August seeking transparency from the Trump administration. The broader Israeli war on Gaza has resulted in over 245,000 Palestinian casualties, predominantly civilians, according to recent reports.
