STATEMENTS FROM GHF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOHN ACREE
August 17, 2025
“We’ve delivered more than 126 million meals to date, with no signs of slowing down. This is a testament to our distribution method, built around scalability and adaptability. With a team of dedicated staff powering our aid distribution, GHF is well-equipped to distribute even more aid.
“We have answered the questions about distributing to women and about supplements. Every day we do it better.
“But it’s still not enough. Each day, the needs of the Palestinian people grow more dire, and we continue to call on the international humanitarian aid community to join our efforts to feed more people in Gaza. They need us, and we cannot sit by as their hunger grows. The time for the international humanitarian community to come together and act is now.”
