The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (a U.S.-backed shell operation disguised as a humanitarian aid distributor) has been utilizing food to lure starving Palestinians to narrow aid corridors where they open fire, murdering hundreds of Palestinians. This is not a humanitarian mission. This militarized project (designed according to military planning and not humanitarian relief) controls, coerces, and disappears Palestinians. More than 900 Palestinians have been murdered at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution site by U.S. security forces and Israeli Occupation Forces. Israeli professor at Ben Gurion University, Yakov Garb, maintains these compounds are surrounded by buffer zones and controlled by American and Israeli personnel, deliberately structured to funnel desperate Palestinians into kill zones. This system is designed for forced displacement, not relief. GHF is designed to eliminate Palestinians under the guise of humanitarian relief. 

Families in Gaza are starving. Parents are being shot trying to reach food for their children. What was supposed to be a humanitarian effort has turned into a death trap. Shut down the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and let food reach the people. 

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is calling for US elected officials to enforce:

• The immediate shutdown of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
• An end to all U.S. support for this operation, including logistics and intelligence
• Restoration of food aid coordination to the United Nations and impartial humanitarian groups
• Congressional hearings into U.S. complicity in these deadly violations of humanitarian law

Starving Palestinians don’t need militarized checkpoints. They need food. They need safety. They need dignity. It’s time to stop supporting failed, deadly models and return to real humanitarian protocol.
