COMMUNITY DISTRIBUTION AND COLLABORATION
Following our recent call for collaboration with local community leaders, we have received an overwhelming response from organizations and individuals seeking to help provide additional assistance to Palestinians in Gaza.
We are reviewing these requests as we receive them and will continue our outreach to additional local organizations in the meantime to help address this need.
SAFETY/SECURITY
Distributions at all sites ran smoothly today, ensuring the protection of all civilians present.
STATEMENTS FROM GHF INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOHN ACREE
July 18, 2025
“Our team continues to work around the clock to get more food to those in need, which now totals nearly 80 million meals. Unfortunately, this work is made more difficult by a coordinated disinformation campaign led by Hamas.
“The recent report from the Network Contagion Research Institute clearly proves that Hamas’ propaganda and the amplification of false reporting by mainstream media outlets and the United Nations discredits our successful food delivery efforts on behalf of the people of Gaza. Not only are we challenged by the life-threatening conditions of war, but we are constantly contending with the lies from Hamas and the amplification of those lies from the mainstream media and the United Nations.
“We ask that you please confirm your news sources when reporting and do not become a microphone for a known terrorist organization. The conditions in Gaza are worsening and we need help. Please help us in this effort to deliver emergency food aid to a desperate population.”
INACCURATE NEWS REPORTING:
Several news organizations inaccurately reported that GHF workers used tear gas on civilians during yesterday’s incident at SDS3 in Khan Younis. At no point was tear gas deployed, nor were shots fired into the crowd. Limited use of pepper spray was deployed, only to safeguard additional loss of life. In at least one instance, an American worker physically entered the violent crowd to rescue a child who was being trampled.
The false reporting, perpetuated by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, is part of a larger pattern of Hamas trying to undermine and ultimately end GHF. It is no coincidence that this incident occurred during ceasefire negotiations, where Hamas continues to demand that GHF cease operations.
