A US- and Israeli-backed aid initiative in Gaza, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), is facing mounting criticism following reports from former contractors and security guards who allege severe abuses against Palestinian civilians at aid distribution sites. Eyewitness accounts describe security personnel and Israeli forces using excessive force, including shooting and pepper-spraying unarmed, starving Palestinians seeking food. Despite GHF's claims of effective aid delivery and offers to collaborate with the UN, international organizations and medical charities have condemned the operation as insufficient and dehumanizing, with some refusing to cooperate due to safety concerns. The crisis comes as malnutrition and starvation reach catastrophic levels in Gaza, with aid agencies warning that humanitarian access remains dangerously restricted. The controversy has sparked international debate over responsibility for the worsening famine and the ethics of current aid distribution methods.
