After a prolonged series of crimes and acts of brutality against the Palestinian people, the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” announced last Monday that it was shutting its doors. This step marked the final line in a chapter that—from its very inception—was written with suspicious intent.
Since late May, the foundation emerged at a time when Gaza was enduring the harshest phases of the blockade, and the battle of starvation had intensified—a battle through which the enemy sought to break the will of the Palestinian people, subjugating them through deprivation of basic food even before any weapons.
From the outset, the foundation appeared as a shadow with no history, rapidly expanding its presence and presenting itself as a bridge of mercy over the rubble of war.
In reality, however, it functioned as an unannounced front line—an instrument operating in the gray zone between war and aid. It executed part of the general policy devised by the enemy to manage “systematic starvation” and control the pulse of life in Gaza.
Instead of serving as a humanitarian refuge to alleviate hunger, it became a new point of economic pressure: granting and withholding, delivering and blocking, luring the starving into the traps of Israeli death—all in ways that served a broader policy objective: controlling Palestinian streets through domination over food, medicine, and the rhythm of daily life.
The closure of the foundation exposes the true nature of the battle waged against Gaza—a conflict in which “humanitarian tools” are used as a soft façade for coercion, exploiting people’s basic needs to reshape social and political realities, as if life itself were being managed as a security dossier.
Death Traps
What is known as the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” (GHF) was directly involved in the systematic luring of starving civilians into organized death traps—planned and operated within the U.S.–Israeli apparatus under the guise of humanitarian work.
The foundation became an essential partner in enabling scenes of mass killing, serving as an operational arm for one of the most dangerous schemes targeting civilians through tools of starvation and collective punishment in modern times.
The foundation began operating its first center at the end of May 2025, claiming to create a “safe and organized system for aid distribution.” However, from the very first day, the facts revealed that its real objective was to engineer starvation, control civilian movement, and push the population toward exposed locations where they could be easily targeted—not to alleviate the humanitarian crisis. This mechanism constituted a U.S.–Israeli model built on enforcing control and sustaining famine, rather than providing relief.
The centers announced by the foundation included:
1-The Tel al‑Sultan Center in Rafah – which later became one of the most prominent sites of mass casualties.
2-The “Morag” corridor in southern Gaza – a center situated in a highly exposed and dangerous area.
3-A third center in Rafah, announced later.
4-A fourth center in northern al‑Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.
All of these locations functioned, in practice, as death traps where starving civilians were subjected to direct fire, deprivation of food, and forced movement along routes controlled by the occupying forces to serve military objectives during the war.
Documented figures—according to Gaza’s Government Media Office—indicate 2,615 fatalities caused by starvation, in addition to 19,182 injuries, whether at the so‑called “GHF death‑trap centers” or along the truck routes that were used as targeting points.
Among these fatalities, 1,506 civilians were killed while waiting for aid, while 1,109 others were killed inside the U.S.–Israeli centers themselves, due to gunfire or shelling as starving civilians approached or attempted to enter. These included 225 children, 852 adults, and 32 elderly individuals.
Israeli Mastery in Targeting the Starving
On May 27, the Israeli occupation forces began distributing aid in the so-called “buffer zones.” However, the operation was an utter failure as thousands of starving civilians rushed into these areas in a tragic and chaotic scene, culminating in the storming of distribution centers and the seizure of food under extreme hunger conditions.
Israeli forces responded with gunfire, resulting in the deaths of three civilians and injuries to 46 others. Consequently, the Israeli plan to distribute aid through these “buffer zones” collapsed. Nevertheless, the occupiers persisted with this mechanism, as inflicting harm on Palestinian civilians was one of the primary objectives of the so-called foundation.
Within just two weeks of operation, the foundation caused the deaths of more than 130 civilians from direct gunfire while attempting to access food parcels at checkpoints of humiliation and oppression, with nearly 1,000 additional civilians injured.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reported in mid-June that the foundation’s model deliberately lures civilians into specific, exposed locations in coordination with the Israeli army, where they face killing and injury.
The report highlighted that the centers managed by the foundation effectively became death traps, utilized by Israel as part of its collective punishment tactics in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the UNRWA Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, stated in early July that over 130 international NGOs had called for the termination of the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,” noting that it “offers nothing but starvation and gunfire against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.”
“Not Aid, But Systematic Killing”
On July 6, a damning investigation published by the Financial Times revealed the involvement of Boston Consulting Group (BCG)—one of the world’s largest consulting firms—in developing a financial model aimed at the demographic displacement of Gaza’s population.
The secret project, reportedly named “Aurora,” planned to forcibly relocate over half a million Palestinians, under what were termed “evacuation packages” funded by external actors.
The investigation confirmed that the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), established with U.S.–Israeli support, served as the operational front for this project. While claiming to provide humanitarian aid, in practice the foundation caused the deaths of hundreds of civilians and injured thousands more.
The report noted that the scheme included secret funding, support from private U.S. security firms, and distribution activities that violated humanitarian principles, ultimately leading to the dismissal of BCG partners once the plans were exposed.
In early August, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) released a report titled “This Is Not Aid, But Systematic Killing”, documenting deliberate killings and violations of human dignity at the GHF’s food distribution sites.
MSF teams at Al-Mawasi and Al-Attar clinics in southern Gaza recorded 1,380 casualties between June 7 and July 24, including 28 fatalities. Among the injured were 71 children who suffered gunshot wounds, 25 of them under the age of 15.
MSF Director-General Raquel Ayora stated: “Children were shot in the chest while trying to obtain food. People were trampled or suffocated in the crowd. Entire groups were fired upon at the distribution points.”
Analysis revealed that 11% of the injuries were to the head and neck, and 19% affected the chest, abdomen, and back, indicating deliberate targeting rather than stray or incidental fire, according to the report.
