An American security contractor working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says the new aid initiative is plagued with problems and is not properly serving Palestinians.

 

The man — whose op-ed is anonymously published by the far-left Zeteo news site — says he is one of the hundreds of people hired by UG Solutions, one of the two American contractors working with GHF.

 

He says contractors were given very little information and training before being sent into Gaza.

yep, always good to hear the account of an anonymous complaint from a far left site run by Mehdi Hasan and anonymous unverified Hamas officials updates.

A two week old link that has no bearing on the current situation, how its unfolded, with many claims debunked or already updated has been removed along with a baiting troll post.

The beeb doing its usual, quoting anonymous hospital officials as if they are aware of what went on or why these people were killed and  anonymous unverified statements from IDF

 

Fifteen killed by Israeli fire near Gaza aid site, hospitals say

At least 15 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire as they gathered near an aid distribution centre in central Gaza, hospitals say.

Officials at al-Aqsa and al-Awda hospitals said people were shot by troops near a site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is backed by Israel and the US. It is inside the Israeli military's Netzarim Corridor.

The Israeli military said troops fired warning shots at a group they believed posed a potential threat. An aircraft also struck one person who advanced rapidly towards them, it added.

Israeli tank shellfire has killed at least 45 Palestinians in Khan Younis, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza. Hundreds of others have been injured - with "dozens of critical cases" arriving at a medical complex.

 

The strikes took place as people waited for aid trucks in the southern Gaza city.

 

On Monday, Gaza's health ministry said at least 34 people were shot dead near food distribution centres.

Doing good work there spreading Hamas propaganda.

 

You post by the way has nothing to do with GHF it is about one of the UN aid sites but I see you are now trying to pin every on them even when its another aid provider that has nothing to do with them

 

Some words from the head of GHF who are busy delivering aid to the people in Gaza. 

 

One of the most shocking developments since I started helping GHF is to really see some in the media’s reliance on the Gaza Health Ministry, which is Hamas. They report Hamas propaganda as fact. 
It’s shameful. So does the UN, by the way.

More on Monday's shootings:

It said 33 people were killed trying to reach a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) centre near Rafah, while another person died heading to an aid hub in the central Gaza Strip

 

Israeli troops had opened fire as they attempted to control the crowds early on Monday close to the Rafah site, two witnesses said.

 

The number of deaths in shootings was the highest reported daily total since the Israeli and US-backed aid centres opened in May, as thousands of Palestinians move through Israeli military-controlled areas to get to them.

Remind me again- how much aid was Greta Thunberg delivering to Gaza on the Madleen?

[Bkk Brian]

Just waiting for the usual suspects to push out this false claim.

 

This has absolutely nothing to do with GHF, it is fake news from the Hamas “Health Ministry” spread by once reputable media outlets. They are now spreading lies.  There were no such incidences in any proximity to our sites (in fact, we delivered nearly 2M meals today). 

 

 

 

[coolcarer]

Nothing but happy faces collecting food aid at GHF and the international press reporting there too.

 

This scene replays day after day at GHF’s distribution sites in Gaza. The happiness and appreciation runs deep.

Delivering food in way that reaches the  Palestinian people directly is essential.

This is critical. We won’t be deterred.

 

Today I visited one of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Secure Distribution Sites inside Gaza. A remarkable & unprecedented operation.

 

 

[bannork]

At least 12 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces while waiting for aid in central Gaza, according to rescuers and medics.

 

Reports say the group was killed by gunfire near an aid distribution site run by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) on Thursday.

 

The GHF denied there were any incidents near its site.

From your link.

 

Gaza's health ministry said on Thursday that since midnight 12 people had been killed while seeking aid, without giving further details.

 

So another message direct from Hamas.

 

INACCURATE NEWS REPORTING: Our GHF news monitoring continues to reveal inaccurate news coverage by the international media outlets linking GHF sites to violent incidents that did not occur near our sites but occurred at United Nations’ (UN) convoy sites.

We continue to experience a growing pattern of false information seemingly formulated by the Gaza Health Ministry

GHF OPERATIONAL UPDATE - THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 2025

Nearly 3 million meals today across three distribution sites
More than 33.5 million meals distributed to date

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) continued its operations today to provide vital food aid for the Palestinian people in Gaza. Below is an update on today’s operations:

[bannork]

Israeli forces have killed 23 Palestinians after opening fire on crowds gathered near an aid distribution site, witnesses and medics say.

 

Tanks and drones fired at thousands of people near a distribution centre in central Gaza run by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the witnesses and medics said.

 

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said troops fired warning shots after people gathered nearby. An Israeli aircraft then struck "several suspects" who the IDF said continued walking towards troops.

[bannork]

The US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, whose operations in Gaza have seen hundreds of Palestinians shot dead while trying to reach aid distribution sites, has said that the civilian population in the devastated enclave "desperately need more aid".

 

The group has petitioned the US development agency for $30 million so it can continue its operations.

 

A US- and Israeli-backed privately run aid organisation brought in to distribute food rations in war-hit Gaza last month has asked the administration of US President Donald Trump to step in with an initial $30 million so it can continue its operations.

The Gazan civilians are very grateful, unlike Hamas who have been threatening GHF staff, murdering, taking them hostage and even stopping them from getting hospital treatment.

 

"The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire, and we are so proud of the GHF aid givers rising to the challenge every day. Together we hope to achieve even more for the Palestinian people in Gaza."

The UN have of course refused to join and assist

 

The GHF model continues to deliver for the Palestinian people in Gaza, with more than 36 million meals distributed to date. We remain eager to work with the UN and other parties in the region to provide even more life-sustaining aid to those who need it.

[Bkk Brian]

NBC admitting its false reports and correcting them

 

WATCH: NBC clarifies days later that the people they claimed were killed at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation food distribution site in Gaza were actually killed at a United Nations food distribution site. 

Media are repeating verbatim bogus Hamas claims that people are getting killed seeking aid. These claims are clear examples of Hamas propaganda meant to discredit the GHF, the new source of aid being delivered directly to Gazan civilians. 

 

[bannork]

Latest figures regarding casualties near GHF sites, plus current prices and availability of basic foods:

 

Between 27 May and 19 June, the Red Cross field hospital in Rafah received 1,874 “weapon-wounded patients” and recorded 18 “mass casualty incidents”, in which the vast majority of the patients reported to medical staff that they had been wounded while trying to access food at or near GHF sites.

 

Food has become extremely scarce in Gaza since Israel imposed a tight blockade on all supplies throughout March and April, threatening many of the 2.3 million people who live there with a “critical risk of famine”.

 

A kilo of sugar now costs 60 times more than before the war and a 25kg bag of flour is up to $500. Fuel for cooking is scarce, fresh vegetables almost unobtainable for many and there is no fresh meat.

Your link quotes are highly misleading and most sources are from Hamas as usual from you.

 

For a start, the GHF or UN do not charge for food aid, its all free, any flour, sugar etc is free when handed out. Unless its stolen by Hamas and sold on to its own people, the exact reason GHF started up. 

[bannork]

Fifteen international human rights organisations have called on the Israel- and US-backed Gaza food delivery group, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), and other private groups running humanitarian aid delivery in Gaza to cease their operations or face legal consequences.

 

In a letter sent on Monday to GHF and the affiliated Safe Reach Solutions and UG Solutions, the rights advocates warned that private contractors operating in Gaza in collaboration with the Israeli government risk “aiding and abetting or otherwise being complicit in crimes under international law, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide”.

 

“GHF’s militarized model, coupled with its close collaboration with Israeli authorities, undermines the core humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence,” the letter sent on Monday warned. 

 

Rights groups warn Gaza Humanitarian Foundation it may be liable for international law violations

    Are these guys being serious ?

Hamas are losing money and influence because they lost their food distribution business and now they are taking legal action to get their corrupt business back again .

   Criminals using the law attempting to get their criminal empire back again and there reasoning is : *Anyone who distributes food to the staving people is complicit in genocide" 🙂

Disgusting, first Hamas murders and lies about them and when that's not enough to stop them a letter that will have zero impact on GHF carry out its aid operation. Honestly do you not feel embarrassed posting this?

 

Meanwhile Johnnie Moore the US head of GHF suggests you read this:

 

Gaza “aid massacres” are fake, a Hamas ploy to harm the GHF, amplified by willing media 1/ Hamas killed Gazans in many confirmed cases Key source: Hamas operative Mahmoud Basel Reports trace back to 1 Gaza reporter Claims cite anonymous “medics” Gazan witnesses lied

 

 

Critical confirmation that Hamas has killed many Gazans to pin blame on Israel and disrupt GHF: PA’s official newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida reported on June 19 that Hamas Al-Sahm "death squads" shoot civilians, citing locals, to maintain control of aid. 2/
