TRIAL International has filed legal complaints in Switzerland, urging an investigation into the Swiss-incorporated Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Despite having no disclosed funding sources or any documented expertise in aid delivery, the GHF has been backed by the US to begin distributing aid into hubs in Gaza controlled by the Israeli military. TRIAL warns that the GHF risks undermining genuine humanitarian relief and violating international law.

GHF has been condemned by leading aid and human rights groups as a politicised sham, dependent on Israeli control. “The GHF board includes former senior U.S. military and security officials with no roots in Gaza, no accountability to Palestinian civil society, and a clear record of working in coordination with the Israeli and U.S. Governments,” according to a statement signed by 11 international aid and human rights organisations. “Aid does not need rebranding. It needs to be allowed in.”

Earlier in May, Israel’s cabinet signed off on a plan to impose biometric data collection as a condition of aid distribution: “Palestinians would be coming to these places, registered and screened through facial recognition technology,” according to journalist Daniel Estrin.

UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher said: “It makes aid conditional on political and military aims. It makes starvation a bargaining chip. It is cynical sideshow. A deliberate distraction. A fig leaf for further violence and displacement.”
