GHF Doing its Job - delivering meals

 The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has provided details about the type of food it is distributing in Gaza, regarding its ongoing operations and its application for US government funding.

According to the organization, each aid box distributed is designed to sustain a family of 5.5 individuals for approximately 3.5 days.

The contents of the boxes vary slightly depending on availability and cost but typically include flour, sugar, rice, cooking oil, pasta, a protein such as canned tuna, and dried beans. Additional items such as tea, coffee, cookies, chocolates are available. GHF has also begun distributing potatoes, which the organization said have been well received by recipients.

GHF delivered more than 66 million meals over a month

The group stated that the food packages exceed the caloric minimums set by the international humanitarian community and are consistent with aid typically provided by other organizations. GHF said it has also distributed aid on behalf of other humanitarian groups.GHF spokesperson Chapin Fay said on Tuesday that the organization has delivered more than 66 million meals over a month and highlighted what he described as the group’s success in distributing food without interference from Hamas.

“GHF has done what others could not: deliver free, nutritious, and secure emergency food aid directly to the people of Gaza without interference from Hamas,” said Fay. “In just over a month, we’ve delivered more than 66 million meals. We’re grateful to the Trump Administration for recognizing the impact of our work with a $30 million commitment to help expand our operations.”

The group also addressed questions surrounding a review performed by USAID of GHF’s application for grant funding, stating that the process is routine and that the organization is cooperating fully. Fay noted that the organization’s operational model is designed to prevent diversion, fraud, or misuse of aid.

“Every dollar we receive is safeguarded to ensure all resources – which will eventually include American taxpayer funds – reach the people of Gaza, not Hamas,” he said.

GHF also alleged that some long-standing international aid groups have failed to prevent diversion of aid in Gaza and claimed that such organizations view GHF as a threat. Fay said that such criticism only harms the civilian population.

“The bottom line is GHF is delivering where others have not,” the organization concluded.
