US Lawmakers Demand Probe Into Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s ‘Aid Traps’

August 1, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
A group of 92 Democratic US House members has called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to launch a formal investigation into the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), citing serious concerns about its funding, operational conduct, and role in civilian massacres at aid distribution sites in Gaza. Led by Representative Sean Casten, the lawmakers pointed out GHF's lack of prior humanitarian experience and questioned its suitability to serve as a primary aid delivery mechanism. They urged greater oversight to ensure aid reaches Palestinian civilians safely and in compliance with international standards.

July 30, 2025 Unicorn Riot. , , , ,
Athens, Greece — On the evening of Saturday, July 26, pro-Palestinian protesters crafted and placed puppet dolls dedicated to the children killed in Gaza outside the Greek Parliament. The demonstration was organized by Initiative Against Genocide, a group staging sit-in protests and other activities in solidarity with Palestine and against the war in Gaza outside the Greek Parliament and in Syntagma Square, every day since June 21. Among the Initiative’s actions, which are mainly communicated through social media, are sit-in protests, musical events and speeches by activists like Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s Thiago Ávila.

Palestinians Are Not Starving In Gaza; They are Being Starved!

July 29, 2025 Dr. Wilmer J. Leon, III, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
Recently I was listening to an NPR program talking about Palestine and the genocide in Gaza and the point was made that Palestinians in Gaza are starving.  People need to be very clear on this point, Palestinians in Gaza are not starving! I repeat, that’s just not true. Palestinians in Gaza are being starved to death.  This is not a distinction without a difference. It would be appropriate to say that Palestinians are starving if they were the victims of a natural catastrophe or an act of God, such as a drought. One could say that Palestinians are starving if crops could not be grown and grass were burned so the animals could not graze, such as in Sudan.

International And Internal Pressure On Israel Building; Concentration Camp Stalled

July 28, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Two leading Israeli human rights organizations issued reports on 28 July accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, marking the first time any major Israeli group has made such a declaration. “An examination of Israel’s policy in the Gaza Strip and its horrific outcomes, together with statements by senior Israeli politicians and military commanders about the goals of the attack, leads to the unequivocal conclusion that Israel is taking coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip,” B’Tselem wrote.

July 28, 2025 Josh Rudd, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Dallas, TX – Over 100 Dallas residents joined a protest against Boston Consulting Group (BCG) on Friday, July 25 to call attention to the firm’s backing of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has killed over a thousand Palestinians seeking aid. Attendees banged pots and pans, blared instruments and chanted slogans including “We know what your funding’s for: forced starvation, endless war!” to disrupt the workday inside the office building. The protest was organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement – Dallas Chapter in response to an International Day of Action against the forced starvation of Gaza by the U.S. and Israel.

Worldwide Actions: Bang Your Pots For Gaza

July 28, 2025 Roya News. , , , ,
Activists are urging people worldwide to participate in a "pot-banging" demonstration daily at 6 PM local time, wherever they are, aiming to raise urgent awareness about the escalating famine in Gaza caused by the “Israeli” blockade.  The initiative, dubbed "Pot-Banging for Gaza," calls on participants to bang pots and pans from their windows or balconies for 2-5 minutes to highlight the dire humanitarian crisis caused by what organizers describe as “Israel's” illegal blockade. It was inspired by a viral video shot on Monday in Nuseirat, central Gaza, where hungry children, men, and women banged on their empty pots demanding the opening of crossings.

Reflections From My Time On The Handala

July 26, 2025 Dr. Yipeng Ge, Rabble. , , , ,
I spent the past week with the Handala freedom flotilla team. I was planning on supporting and sending off the Handala boat from Siracusa, Italy. Last minute, I was offered the opportunity to join the Handala boat as it sailed from Siracusa, Italy to Gallipoli, Italy. Spending time with the crew and ground team was incredibly inspiring and hopeful. It was the honour of a lifetime and I made memories that I will treasure forever. We held each other in our collective grief, sorrow, and rage for Gaza and for Palestine. We were actively translating this into action and solidarity work for Gaza and for Palestine.

Activists Protest Outside US Home Of GHF ‘Aid Group’ Chief

July 26, 2025 The New Arab. , , ,
Activists in the US gathered outside the Virginia home of John Acree, the director of the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), to denounce the organisation’s actions amid Israel's forced starvation of Gaza. More than 1,000 Palestinians seeking aid have been killed at the GHF's distribution sites since the group began operations in May. Contractors and Israeli forces at the sites have opened deadly fire at civilians, used tear gas, as well as artillery and mortar rounds. The protest comes as 123 Palestinians have died due to starvation and malnutrition-related reasons as Israel continues to block emergency aid into the enclave.

La Via Campesina Joins The Handala Mission

July 23, 2025 La Via Campesina. , , , ,
When governments normalize genocide and institutions retreat behind silence, it is the duty of peoples’ movements to act. As famine ravages Gaza under a suffocating siege and global inaction deepens, La Via Campesina, the international movement of over 200 million peasants, landless workers, and food producers, has launched a new phase of direct solidarity by joining the Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s Handala ship. This mission comes on the heels of La Via Campesina’s participation in the Sumoud Convoy in June 2025 a bold land initiative that sought to break the siege via Egypt’s Rafah crossing.

Freedom Flotilla Ship Will Attempt To Break Israeli Blockade Of Gaza

July 7, 2025 Kyle Anzalone and Will Porter, The Libertarian Institute. , , , , ,
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) has said it will attempt to break the Israeli siege of Gaza with another ship. Last month, the FFC vessel ‘Madleen’ was seized by Israeli forces before it could reach the starving people of the Strip. A statement on the organization’s X account announced that the next ship will set sail from Italy next week: “We are setting sail again. On July 13, 2025, our boat Handala will depart from Siracusa [Syracuse], Italy, to break Israel’s illegal blockade. This mission is for the children of Gaza.” It continued, “Just weeks ago, Israeli forces illegally seized our boat Madleen and abducted 12 unarmed civilians aboard her in international waters.”

DRAD Seeks Answers About US Government Role In ‘Slaughter Masquerading As Humanitarian Aid’

July 3, 2025 Defending Rights & Dissent. , , , , , , , , ,
Yesterday, Defending Rights & Dissent filed two Freedom of Information Act requests to uncover details about the U.S. government’s relationship with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the shadowy private aid group that has been mired in controversy since announcing efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza in early May. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) published a statement which declared that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution effort “is a slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid.” The first FOIA request seeks internal State Department reports and communications about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, as well as the U.S. government’s communications with Israel about the organization.

July 2, 2025 Interfaith Action For Palestine, Popular Resistance. , , , , , ,
Washington, DC - More than one hundred Buddhists, Christians, and Jews shut down Dirksen and Rayburn Congressional Cafeterias in prayer and song to expose far-right hate group, Christians United for Israel 100+ faith leaders and activists shut down Dirksen and Raburn Cafeterias in protest to the far-right hate group "Christians United for Israel’ and its role in promoting the forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.

Chris Hedges: Gaza’s Hunger Games

June 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , , ,
Israel’s weaponization of starvation is how genocides always end. I covered the insidious effects of orchestrated starvation in the Guatemalan Highlands during the genocidal campaign of Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt, the famine in southern Sudan that left a quarter of a million dead — I walked past the frail and skeletal corpses of families lining roadsides — and later during the war in Bosnia when Serbs cut off food supplies to enclaves such as Srebrencia and Goražde. Starvation was weaponized by the Ottoman Empire to decimate the Armenians. It was used to kill millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor in 1932 and 1933.

Chris Hedges Report: Starvation And Profiteering In Gaza

June 26, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , , ,
There is not much more that can be said about the unfathomable levels of devastation the genocide in Gaza has reached. Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, has been chronicling the genocide and joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to shed light on the current situation in Gaza, including parts from her upcoming report on the profiteers of the genocide. Israel’s siege on the Palestinians is leaving the population starving, and Albanese lambasts other nations for not stepping up and completing their obligations under international law.

The Last Days Of Gaza

June 10, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
This is the end. The final blood-soaked chapter of the genocide. It will be over soon. Weeks. At most. Two million people are camped out amongst the rubble or in the open air. Dozens are killed and wounded daily from Israeli shells, missiles, drones, bombs and bullets. They lack clean water, medicine and food. They have reached a point of collapse. Sick. Injured. Terrified. Humiliated. Abandoned. Destitute. Starving. Hopeless. In the last pages of this horror story, Israel is sadistically baiting starving Palestinians with promises of food, luring them to the narrow and congested nine-mile ribbon of land that borders Egypt. Israel and its cynically named Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), allegedly funded by Israel’s Ministry of Defense and the Mossad, is weaponizing starvation.
