STATEMENTS FROM GHF INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOHN ACREE
June 16, 2025
“Today was a big day. Our food deliveries reached all four distribution sites and we were able to conduct two rounds of deliveries at two sites, demonstrating a growing capacity to provide food. Once again, I am extremely proud of our team as they safely opened the four sites today despite the unprecedented series of conflict events in the region. While we are now navigating daily Iranian missile attacks and falling flak from counter weapons, our team still arrives at the loading docks to stock our trucks and continue our mission of feeding the people of Gaza. They are our sole customers and stakeholders whom we strive to serve every day.”
UPDATES AND CORRECTIONS
INACCURATE NEWS REPORTING: We have read false media reports again today attributing a violent incident that occurred in northern Gaza in proximity to an UN aid convoy that was being targeted for looting and falsely claiming it was located near a GHF distribution site. GHF does not have a distribution site in Gaza City or northern Gaza at this time. We also do not deliver bulk flour. This is clearly false information.
We have seen a growing pattern of false information seemingly formulated by the Gaza Health Ministry, an arm of Hamas, and then reported first by Al Jazeera and then echoed by the United Nations. It is unfortunate that both organizations, especially the United Nations, continue to push false information regarding our operations. We understand the United Nations is also trying to deliver aid into Gaza, but yet are unaccountable about the percentage of their deliveries that are being looted versus making their final destination. We continue to support their efforts and call on them to work with us to ensure more aid reaches the people of Gaza, not Hamas and other criminal elements.
