A US- and Israeli-backed aid initiative in Gaza, led by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), is under intense scrutiny following multiple reports of violence and abuse against Palestinian civilians at aid distribution sites. Former security personnel and contractors have described shocking incidents, including the use of lethal force and pepper spray on unarmed, starving people seeking food. Humanitarian organizations and UN officials have criticized the GHF's approach as dehumanizing and insufficient, while the UN and Israel trade blame over the failure to deliver adequate aid. The GHF has offered to collaborate with the UN and secure aid convoys, but the UN has refused, citing concerns about the safety and ethics of the operation. The crisis has highlighted the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with widespread starvation and calls for an urgent ceasefire and unrestricted aid access.
