Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sparks controversy over food aid distribution methods
Wednesday, May 28, 2025, 10:21 pm
The US‑backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation finds itself amid a heated controversy over its food aid distribution. Officials and critics allege that the group’s practices—purportedly diverting essential supplies for black market resale—politicize relief efforts in a conflict zone.

On Tuesday, the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing food to civilians in the war-wracked area — and the voices who'd been loudest about "starvation" in Gaza complained.
Swiss authorities tell CBS News the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is "not fulfilling various legal obligations" in that country.
