Executive summary

The purpose of this paper is to delineate and describe The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – why it was created, how it operates, and what it has managed to accomplish in Gaza. The paper will cover the operations of the GHF as well as the international campaign attempting to tarnish its humanitarian work by citing false claims originating from Hamas-aligned sources. This paper explains the humanitarian-aid complex and how the interests of UN bodies, Hamas, and certain mainstream media outlets all converged to chastising the GHF rather than collaborating with it in its humanitarian mission.
