Summary
The alternative aid-distribution body whose Gaza compounds began operating on May 24, 2025 and on which Debunking the Genocide Allegations defers judgment (Debunking the Genocide Allegations: A Reexamination of the Israel-Hamas War from October 7, 2023 to June 1, 2025, PDF p.9-10).
Details
- Aid resumed in May 2025 in insufficient though growing quantities even counting the nascent foundation, printed GFH at PDF p.9 and GHF at PDF p.9-10; promoting its efforts from May 24, 2025 to deliver aid without looting or seizure by Hamas is, on the authors’ account, a humanitarian necessity, but blocking traditional distribution before viable alternatives existed was wrong (PDF p.9).
- Judgment on the operation of its aid distribution compounds is deferred to a follow-up update (PDF p.10).
- The foundation was the new, secure system led by the GHF with which Israel sought to replace the UNRWA-controlled aid mechanism when it blocked aid entry from March 2 to May 19, 2025, designed to prevent the theft and monetisation of aid by Hamas; it began operating distribution points in southern and central Gaza on May 24, 2025, distributing 16 million meals as of June 11 (PDF p.62-63). The March-May blockade itself is called a grave mistake, because aid routes were blocked before a sufficient alternative was established and tested (PDF p.62).
