Air call from Gaza: New foundation is fighting humanitarian catastrophe!
Gazastreifen, Palästina - The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip reached a new low on May 27, 2025. Thousands of people are desperately waiting for help, while the newly founded Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) Despite public statements about emergency aid, reports from Israeli and international media contribute to the uncertainty about the exact amount of relief supplies. So far, the foundation has not published any information about the amount of food provided, but showed photos of concerned residents with auxiliary packages.
The GHF was preceded by a phase of considerable logistical challenges that delayed the opening of a distribution center. This center is said to act as the main base for the distribution of relief goods and is the first of several to be put into operation in the coming weeks. The people in the Gaza Strip who live under extremely bad conditions urgently need support. After almost three months of blockade, Israel, which limits the import of food and relief goods, loosened them a few days ago.The role of the Gaza Humanitrian Foundation
The GHF is managed by Jake Wood, a US veteran, and is considered the key to solving the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip href = "https://www.aljazera.com/news/2025/20/what-gaza-gaza-humanitrian-foundation-why-has-has-kriticized"> al Jazera . The foundation's plan provides for 1.2 million people to provide a “basic amount of food” by the end of May. Critics of the GHF relate to statements by UN representatives who question the foundation's skills and indicate the inadequacies of the distributed help. Currently, 20% of the population in Gaza are faced with a hunger crisis, while 93% suffer from acute food bottlenecks.
The GHF has already expressed intentions in the past to coordinate with the Israeli military and to hire private military entrepreneurs for security. However, this strategy has triggered concerns because critics argue that the GHF could politicize humanitarian aid and only serve certain areas in the Gaza Strip, which makes care difficult for many needy.
criticism and humanitarian needs
The situation in the Gaza Strip is further tightened by difficulties in the mobility of people and the lack of basic resources such as water, fuel and food. A current report by Unicef shows that hunger, thirst and illnesses are widespread, especially among children and pregnant women. In addition, organizations such as Oxfam, Save the Children and the Norwegian Refugee Council in a media briefing warn of the humanitarian disaster, which could lead to a mass displacement process due to the disability of the civilian population.
The number of looting of shops has increased and children are looking for leftovers in waste mountains. While the current blocked situation of Israel is described as a systematic campaign against Gaza, there are reports of 171,000 tons of food that are stored outside the Gaza Strip, but access to these supplies is denied.
These persistent challenges lead to a desperate situation in which people have to ensure the survival of their families. Israel is obliged as a occupying power to fulfill the basic needs of the civilian population and to ensure access to humanitarian aid.
