July 8, 2025 — The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation released the following statement today in response to media inquiries regarding USAID’s review of GHF’s application for grant funding from the Trump Administration.
The following statement can be attributed to GHF spokesperson Chapin Fay.
“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. 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.
“Our success stands in stark contrast to groups that have received U.S. government funding for years—including the UN—yet failed to protect aid from diversion by Hamas and other bad actors. It’s no surprise that some of these organizations now view GHF as a threat. That’s unfortunate, because the only ones who suffer from efforts to discredit our work are the people of Gaza.
“The facts are simple: our mission is to feed people safely, directly, and without interference. Our model is specifically designed to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. Every dollar we receive is safeguarded to ensure all resources—which will eventually include American taxpayer funds—reach the people of Gaza, not Hamas. From food procurement to distribution to financial controls, every aspect of our operation reflects that commitment.
“As with any U.S. Government procurement process, questions and requests for clarification from USAID/State are routine. We are addressing each question as per regulations and normal procedure and will continue to do so as required. The bottom line is GHF is delivering where others have not.”
