U.S. Firm Quits Gaza Aid Project Amid Backlash Over Israeli Attacks on Civilians

U.S.-backed firm ends contract with “Gaza Humanity Foundation” following executive resignations and global outrage over deadly aid distribution incidents

Watan-The Washington Post has revealed that the American company managing the “Gaza Humanity Foundation”, tasked with delivering aid to starving civilians in Gaza, has terminated its contract and withdrawn from the operation.

This move follows the resignation of two top executives and mounting international condemnation over reports that aid distribution sites became deadly traps, where Israeli forces opened fire on desperate Palestinians.

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), which helped design and run the foundation’s logistics and business operations, pulled its team from the aid delivery program, ending its role in the controversial project.

The U.S.- and Israeli-backed initiative faced serious setbacks within its first week of operations. Two senior executives resigned amid allegations that the Israeli army fired on civilians crowding aid sites, while the United Nations and humanitarian partners refused to participate, citing ethical and operational concerns.

The distribution began after an 11-week Israeli blockade that prevented all humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.

On Friday, the company hired last fall to develop and run the program withdrew its on-the-ground team from Tel Aviv. A BCG spokesperson confirmed that the firm terminated its contract with the Gaza Humanity Foundation and placed a key project partner on leave, pending an internal review.

Three sources close to both BCG and the foundation, speaking anonymously, said the project’s future is uncertain without the advisors who helped launch and coordinate the initiative with Israeli officials. BCG had also managed pricing and logistics for contractors who built four distribution centers in southern Gaza and handled the delivery systems.

A spokesperson from BCG claimed the company provided support without charging any fees, but another source disputed that claim, stating that monthly invoices exceeded $1 million.

Despite the controversy, the Gaza Humanity Foundation claimed in an email on Tuesday that it had distributed over 7 million meals in its first eight days of operations.
