Policy analysis by Yara M. Asi documents Israel's systematic weaponization of humanitarian aid in Gaza and the use of starvation as a weapon of war, rather than an unintended consequence. The analysis focuses on Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the US and Israeli-backed alternative for aid delivery that replaced the UN aid distribution system, which has led to civilian killings at or near GHF sites. The piece also looks at the direct link between the GHF and forced displacement and efforts to intervene in the Gaza famine as of June 2025. This piece is valuable for research on the Gaza famine, mass starvation, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, forced displacement, humanitarian aid, and collective punishment of Palestinians.
