July 7, 2025 — Earlier today Reuters published a story that its reporters and editors knew to be false. The story cited a presentation Reuters claimed was connected to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). We made it unequivocally clear, on the record, that the document was not ours, does not reflect our work, and has absolutely no connection to GHF or to our mission. Reuters ran the story anyway.
Now, they’ve issued a correction and admitted they got the story wrong, but the damage is already done.
This story was baseless, fueled by bad-faith sources, and designed to manufacture controversy, not uncover truth. Despite repeated denials, and a total lack of evidence, Reuters chose to publish disinformation over fact, undermining the very integrity of journalism they claim to uphold.
We’ve seen this pattern play out before, from the Washington Post to NBC News. This is only the latest example of inaccurate, agenda-driven coverage of GHF being used to distort and distract from our one mission to meet the urgent and overwhelming needs of the population in Gaza.
This latest failure by Reuters should be a wake-up call for media across the globe. In a war zone flooded with disinformation, propaganda, and bad-faith actors, journalism must rise to the moment not sink to the level of clickbait.
GHF is working tirelessly to distribute free food aid directly to the people of Gaza safely and without interference. This is important, life-saving work, only made harder by irresponsible, baseless media coverage. The media has a responsibility to do better.
