The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is an American nonprofit organization established in February 2025 to distribute humanitarian aid during the ongoing Gaza humanitarian crisis. GHF is intended to bypass the United Nations as the main supplier of aid in Gaza. Backed by the Israeli and American governments, GHF began operating in May 2025 as a response to Israeli claims that aid was being routinely diverted by Hamas. Aid organizations including the UN have denied these claims and attributed the aid theft to Palestinian groups armed by the Israeli military. The functioning of the organization has been marked by repeated mass killings in the vicinity of GHF distribution sites. As of 31 July 2025, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reports that of the 1,373 Palestinians killed since 27 May while seeking food, 859 were killed in the vicinity of GHF sites.
At least 10 Palestinians were k#lled after Israeli fire targeted civilians near two Gaza aid sites, just as hunger-related deaths..
