Gaza Humanitarian Foundation: What to know about the US-backed aid group
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing hunger crisis in Gaza on Monday in Scotland, where he addressed the urgency of getting food into the enclave immediately, while doing it safely and securely.
«The United States recently, just a couple of weeks ago, we gave $60 million … No other nation gave money,» as he urged other nations «to step up.»
$30 million in U.S. contributions to Gaza have been channeled through the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began its operations on May 27, the organization has partnered with local Palestinian aid workers and non-governmental organizations to deliver 97 million meals to date to Gazans.

GHF spokesperson Chapin Fay told Fox News Digital that GHF «has one exclusive mission: to feed the people of Gaza in a way that prevents Hamas from being able to steal or loot or divert the aid.» In addition to having «zero diversion,» Fay said GHF has «put [aid] directly into the hands of the people who need it the most.»
What is GHF providing the local population?
At its four distribution sites in Gaza, it provides boxes of aid sufficient to provide 2,400 daily calories for 5.5 people over a total of 3.5 days. GHF’s sites are able to distribute, on average, 2 million total meals per day.
Fay said GHF has also started a potato pilot program which has seen «hundreds of tons of potatoes» delivered into Gaza.

Another new pilot program in association with local Gazan NGO Al-Amal has allowed GHF to deliver 2,000 boxes of food to families in Gaza. Fay said that GHF is in the process of scaling up the operation, vetting hundreds of inquiries received since the program’s announcement and working on establishing additional local NGO partnerships.
Attacks on GHF’s aid model
The U.N. has lambasted GHF’s distributions, with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini calling the organization an «abomination» that «provides nothing but starvation and gunfire to the people of Gaza.»
TRUMP HITS EU FOR LACK OF GAZA AID, SAYS ISRAEL NEEDS TO ‘MAKE A DECISION’ WITH HAMAS NOT RELEASING HOSTAGES
Though media headlines are thick with accusations of violence at GHF sites, Fay said that the reality of GHF distributions «is almost the opposite of what you read about, what you see on TV.»

Though he admitted that «there’s some chaos when thousands of desperate, hungry people are trying to get aid,» he claims that only two violent incidents have transpired at GHF distributions. A stampede and a grenade attack that harmed two American veteran employees were «Hamas-fomented terrorist attacks,» he said.
The U.N. and many NGOs have also opposed GHF’s use of armed security to protect aid-seekers. However, U.N. data shows that only 8% of U.N. aid had reached its destination without being looted in the last 10 weeks, according to a Reuters report.
Fay says that GHF is ready and willing to provide security support for U.N. aid. «We need to stop pretending that there’s only one way to get aid into Gaza,» he explained.
The Israel Defense Forces said that 121 trucks of aid from «the UN and the international community» crossed into Gaza on May 28, 2025. (IDF Spokesperson’s Unit)
GHF’s adaptations and improvements on the ground
As GHF continues to assist Gazans, Fay says the organization has «adapt[ed] in a dynamic environment, and our distributions seem to be going more smoothly every day.»

New adaptations include a red-light, green-light system to indicate whether distribution sites are open and a suggestion from aid-seekers. GHF has also added more shelf-stable onions to its aid boxes.

Fay said that workers are also holding back some aid to ensure that women and children receive needed assistance. Because of this change, Fay says he recently «saw women leaving and smiling at our personnel with their onions on their way home.»
GHF is set to deliver its 100 millionth meal to Gazans later this week.

Mamdani’s ‘Visceral Disdain’ for Cops ‘Scares a Lot of New Yorkers’: Expert
New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s past stances on policing are a legitimate reason for New Yorkers to be concerned, despite his recent walkbacks, according to a New York City crime expert who spoke to Fox News Digital.
«I think what scares a lot of New Yorkers about the policy positions taken by Zohran Mamdani over the years is that he has exhibited not just a lack of appreciation for the men and women that stand on that [police] line, but a visceral disdain for them, which has led him to push for things like defunding and dismantling the police,» Rafael A. Mangual, senior fellow and head of research for policing and public safety at the Manhattan Institute, told Fox News Digital, shortly after a gunman killed four people in midtown Manhattan, including a NYPD police officer.
«It’s not so much as just that he said, well, I wanna allocate some of this money to other places. He has gone so far as to say that we should dismantle the entire department.»…READ MORE.

New Zealand’s air force carried out a nearly 20-hour medical evacuation to rescue three Americans from Antarctica, calling it a high-risk mission conducted in freezing temperatures and total darkness.
The U.S. National Science Foundation requested the evacuation after three staff members at McMurdo Station were unable to receive adequate medical treatment on-site.
One of the individuals required urgent care, while the other two also needed medical attention and were transported as a precaution, according to New Zealand’s air force.
Air Commodore Andy Scott, head of New Zealand’s air component, said mid-winter flights to Antarctica are among the most difficult missions due to shifting weather, extreme cold and ice landings in total darkness.

«The crew can only attempt the flight after detailed analysis of the weather and airfield state,» Scott said. «The United States Antarctic Program Winter Team must physically create the runway before we can depart by ensuring the ice is groomed and suitable for landing.
«Although they determine it is safe, it’s still an extremely challenging environment to fly in on Night Vision Goggles due to the extreme weather conditions, which are highly changeable at this time of year and makes accurate forecasting a challenge,» he added. «This, coupled with there being no airfields available to divert to once the aircraft is past a certain point south adds to the risk, so these missions are not taken lightly.»
A medical team, including a physician, accompanied the crew to provide in-flight care during the return to Christchurch.

The aircraft was pre-positioned from Auckland to Christchurch on Sunday, with a crew on standby for a weather window.
The crew made the decision on Tuesday to fly to Antarctica, working through the night to complete the mission.
After landing on the ice runway, the aircraft’s engines remained running to prevent freezing during refueling, the air force said.

La dictadura de Ortega creó la Procuraduría General de Justicia para “castigar la corrupción”
La Asamblea Nacional (Parlamento) de Nicaragua aprobó este miércoles una reforma parcial a la Constitución para crear la Procuraduría General de Justicia con el fin de “combatir la corrupción”.
La iniciativa, propuesta por los dictadores Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo, fue aprobada de forma expedita por los 91 diputados que integran el Parlamento, controlado por los sandinistas y sus aliados.
“Con la consigna de ‘Todos contra la corrupción, la Copresidencia de la República ha orientado la creación de una Procuraduría General de Justicia que, en conjunto con las instituciones correspondientes, identifique, persiga, procese y penalice, castigando firmemente, sin ninguna consideración que pretenda disminuir el vicio evidente de los corruptos, de manera que todos estos actos sean implacablemente, y cotidianamente, perseguidos, identificados, procesados y penados”, indicó la dictadura en su exposición de motivos.
La Procuraduría General de Justicia, que ejercerá la representación legal y de defensa de los intereses supremos del Estado y del pueblo nicaragüense, estará integrada por todos los órganos de la actual Procuraduría General de la República, incorpora el Ministerio Público “y otros organismos que cumplan funciones similares para garantizar el resguardo del patrimonio nacional del Estado y el pueblo nicaragüenses”, según la norma.
Será la instancia encargada de resguardar el patrimonio público “y combatir con contundencia, todas las formas de despojo de las conquistas de la revolución; ejerciendo la función acusadora con rigurosidad y en representación de las víctimas del delito, incluyendo las que aquejan a toda la humanidad, como el lavado de activos, narcotráfico y el crimen organizado”.
Además, identificará, perseguirá y procesará a todo responsable de actos lesivos al patrimonio económico, natural, cultural, material, político y jurídico del pueblo nicaragüense, “no permitiendo de ninguna manera el encubrimiento de intereses ajenos a nuestro pueblo, para cometer o seguir cometiendo infames actos de robo y saqueo”.
En su exposición de motivos, la dictadura sandinista aseguró que ha instruido a las instituciones pertinentes “a desatar acciones contundentes para perseguir, procesar y castigar cualquier forma de corrupción que atente contra los intereses de las familias y el pueblo nicaragüense”.
La Procuraduría General de Justicia no permitirá, “de ninguna manera, disfrazar o encubrir intereses ajenos a nuestro pueblo para cometer o seguir cometiendo infames actos de robo y saqueo del erario y los patrimonios del pueblo nicaragüense”, sostuvo la Copresidencia.
“Todo acto que vulnere nuestras leyes de probidad y atente contra los intereses supremos de la patria y el pueblo, será sancionado con las máximas penas establecidas en nuestros Códigos”, añadió.
Esa reforma parcial constitucional que crea la Procuraduría General de Justicia tendrá que ser aprobada en segunda legislatura el próximo año para que entre en vigor.
Desde 2018, la dictadura sandinista ha desplegado un aparato represivo sistemático que incluye detenciones arbitrarias, desapariciones forzadas, censura a la prensa y persecución a defensores de derechos humanos e indígenas. Organizaciones como Amnistía Internacional y Human Rights Watch han documentado el uso de la fuerza letal contra manifestantes, la cancelación de más de 3.000 ONG, el cierre forzoso de universidades y la revocación masiva de nacionalidades. La reforma constitucional de 2025 consolidó esta represión al legalizar la confiscación de bienes, las deportaciones y el silenciamiento de cualquier voz disidente, mientras una red de vigilancia estatal identifica y neutraliza a opositores reales o percibidos.
Además, los pueblos indígenas enfrentan una violencia sistemática vinculada a la expansión minera y al avance de grupos armados en sus territorios, con más de 70 asesinatos reportados entre 2020 y 2024. Lejos de protegerlos, el Estado ha contribuido a su despojo mediante leyes represivas y omisión deliberada. La represión también ha alcanzado a periodistas, líderes religiosos y ciudadanos comunes, generando un exilio forzado de miles de nicaragüenses. Según expertos de la ONU, estas prácticas podrían constituir crímenes de lesa humanidad, enmarcadas en una estrategia de control total del poder político, social y cultural en el país.
