Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

GHF Executive Director John Acree reflects on how the lessons of GHF’s successful model, which provided 187 million meals in Gaza, have created the needed framework for the next crisis. “The largest takeaway from our success is that adaptability must be prioritized against outdated practices and bureaucratic discretion.” Read via @RealClearWorld: realclearworld.com/articles/2025/…

In one of the most complex humanitarian environments in modern history, GHF delivered 187 million free meals directly to civilians in Gaza in under 4.5 months – safely, efficiently, and without a single instance of looting or diversion. As we conclude our emergency operations, we leave behind a proven model for how adaptability, local partnership, and accountability can redefine what effective humanitarian aid looks like in conflict zones. “I am deeply proud of what we accomplished together and hopeful that our work will inform how the world responds to crises in the future. To our team, partners, donors, and above all, the people of Gaza: thank you for allowing us to serve.” — John Acree, GHF Executive Director Read our report: ghf.org/ghf-impact-rep…

We’ve successfully completed our historic aid mission in Gaza after delivering 187 million free meals directly to civilians in Gaza. “At a critical juncture, we are proud to have been the only aid operation that reliably and safely provided free meals directly to Palestinian people in Gaza, at scale and without diversion.” — GHF Executive Director John Acree Read our press release: ghf.org/ghf-statement-…

“We will not rest so long as there are Gazans in need. It’s our mission and it continues on.” — GHF Executive Director, John Acree

GHF's Executive Director John Acree released the following statement today in response to the safe release of hostages in Gaza: “Today, we join countless others in profound relief and joy at the safe release of the hostages in Gaza. We extend our unwavering support to them and their families as they are reunited and begin to heal. This moment represents a long-awaited step toward peace and a measure of justice for those who have suffered for far too long. “Throughout this period of transition, GHF will continue making tactical adjustments to our operations. These short-term adjustments do not alter our long-term plans or mission. “The GHF commitment remains the same: to deliver aid consistently and directly to as many families in Gaza as possible, for however long it takes.”

In partnership with our mission in Gaza, @SamaritansPurse has airlifted 12 relief flights carrying vital aid. Their dedicated team is providing medical care and administering Ready-To-Use Supplementary Food to help prevent and treat malnutrition among women and children. We’re deeply grateful for their continued partnership.

GHF’s local workers have been the heroes of our mission. They’ve risked everything, often moving their families to safety from Hamas’s threats, just to keep serving their community. Because of their courage, we’ve been able to deliver over 185 million meals to the people of Gaza.

To date, we’ve delivered more than 185 million meals. We’re committed to continuing to serve with dignity, efficiency, and respect to the people of Gaza.

Women frequently tell us that without aid from GHF, they wouldn’t be able to feed their families. We’re proud to deliver dignified aid and eager to work with all committed to serving the people of Gaza.

Our humanitarian professionals are former @UN and NGO experts and team leaders. They've worked with ICRC, national and international NGOs, and within the UN system, including WFP, UNHCR, and UNICEF. Their experience is paramount to why we've been able to deliver over 185 million lifesaving meals to the people of Gaza.

“What many outside observers don’t see is the growing trust that has developed between Gazans and our humanitarian staff. "The fact that they come to speak with us every day is a testament to that trust." — GHF Humanitarian Staff in Gaza

In a visit to our Saudi Neighborhood location, @RobertShermanTV provides insight into our humanitarian operations and speaks with our staff and Palestinian civilians receiving aid. Watch on @NewsNation: ⬇️

This is what humanitarian innovation looks like. When Palestinian women told us they needed safer access to aid—and a way to reserve in advance, we listened. We built Women’s Only distributions and a reservation system from the ground up. Today, thousands of women receive lifesaving food each day with dignity, security, and efficiency.

These children are why we show up each day. ❤️

Over 1,400 patients have received care at our sites. 🩺 Alongside our aid distributions, @SamaritansPurse’s medical teams are treating injuries, infections, and providing care for pregnant mothers. We are deeply grateful to Samaritan’s Purse for providing care and aid for the people of Gaza.

“Our staff and local Palestinian partners remain dedicated to our mission. Their bravery and grace while serving the people of Gaza each day are a testament to their commitment.” — GHF Executive Director, John Acree

At our Saudi Neighborhood site this week, @RobertShermanTV with @NewNation witnessed our aid distributions to civilians in Gaza. "There are 'regulars' whom the aid workers now know well, typically greeting each other with an embrace. They come every day, some from far and wide."

Today's GHF Operational Update: ➡️ More than 185 million meals distributed to date ➡️ Nearly one million meals delivered today “We welcome @POTUS's announcement of a Gaza peace deal and thank all those involved for making it a reality. But the immediate needs of the Gazan people remain high, and GHF’s team on the ground continues to provide humanitarian aid and food to all those who need it. "We will not rest so long as there are Gazans in need. It’s our mission and it continues on.” - GHF Executive Director, John Acree Read our full report: ghf.org/ghf-operationa…

Each meal delivered by GHF is handed directly to the people of Gaza. Without interference from Hamas. This is humanitarian aid that works.
