BY THE NUMBERS
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) continued its operations today to provide vital food aid for the Palestinian people in Gaza. Below is an update on today’s operations:
Distributed 20,736 boxes of aid today across two distribution sites:
| Location | Truckloads | Boxes | Meals |
| SDS2 (Saudi Neighborhood) | 10 | 8,640 | 498,960 |
| SDS3 (Khan Younis) | 14 | 12,096 | 698,544 |
| TOTAL | 24 | 20,736 | 1,197,504 |
Today, GHF distributed one truckload of potatoes and one truckload of onions at SDS2 along with four truckloads of potatoes and one truckload of onions at SDS3 as part of our ongoing pilot program to provide additional, supplemental food to our established distribution portions and feed more people in Gaza.
In addition to a general food distribution, GHF is conducting a blanket supplemental feeding program (BSFP) to prevent malnutrition for vulnerable women and children using Ready-to-Use Supplemental Food (RUSF). RUSF is formulated to both treat and prevent acute malnutrition in nutritionally vulnerable groups. Today, four pallets (approximately 25,000 individual packs) of RUSF were distributed at SDS2 and SDS3.
Approximately 130,397,130 meals distributed to date via roughly 2,170,936 boxes.
SAFETY/SECURITY
Distributions at all sites ran smoothly today, ensuring the protection of all civilians present.
STATEMENTS FROM GHF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOHN ACREE
August 20, 2025
“Today, we reached another significant milestone — more than 130 million meals delivered directly to the people of Gaza. This achievement is made possible by the collective efforts of our entire humanitarian staff, including our local Palestinian partners. Their commitment to GHF’s mission — to feed as many Gazans as possible — is unwavering despite all the challenges they face each day.
“This milestone comes shortly after we implemented a new aid reservation system, which is another example of how our operations are built around innovation and adaptability to better reach the people of Gaza. We continue to call on other international humanitarian groups to join us in collaboration; we have the scale and capabilities to deliver more aid, and we cannot do it alone.”
