Per today’s update, GHF has now distributed approximately 33,450,142 meals via roughly 572,640 boxes to date.
Aid distribution at all sites proceeded without incident and any reporting to the contrary is inaccurate.
IN THE NEWS
Since the start of the conflict in Gaza, major media outlets have been forced to issue corrections after jumping to report Hamas’s version of events. While the Israel–Hamas War has created a difficult information environment given the dearth of reliable on-the-ground reporting, America’s leading newspapers, broadcasters, and cable news outlets have consistently made errors that cut in the same direction, elevating Hamas’s claims about a given attack over the word of Israel.
As the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) works to deliver aid for Palestinians in the region, the group must not only deal with attacks from Hamas, but also what they stress is “false reporting,” as they did in a Tuesday press release. “A number of media outlets have falsely reported today that dozens of Palestinians were killed at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution site. This is categorically untrue. The incident in question did not occur at a GHF site, but rather near a United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) location,” the press release began by mentioning, as they stressed how safe their own sites are. “To date, not a single incident has occurred at or in the surrounding vicinity of GHF sites nor has an incident occurred during our operating hours. Our distribution model is secure and designed specifically to prevent this kind of tragedy—even under extreme pressure.”

The U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced it had distributed over 30 million meals in the organization’s first three weeks, including over 3 million meals across three distribution sites on Wednesday. However, the news was clouded by reports that the Israel Defense Forces killed dozens of Palestinians at a GHF distribution site, a claim the organization said is “categorically untrue. To date, not a single incident has occurred at or in the surrounding vicinity of GHF sites, nor has an incident occurred during our operating hours,” the organization said in a statement. “Our distribution model is secure and designed specifically to prevent this kind of tragedy—even under extreme pressure.”
