Forensic Architecture and World Peace Foundation joint investigation documenting Israel's use of genocidal starvation in Gaza from March to August 2025, examining the design and operation of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) as a mechanism of aid control and population management rather than humanitarian relief. The investigation analyzes the military model underlying the GHF scheme and documents how the aid distribution system was designed to concentrate and control the Palestinian population while maintaining the appearance of humanitarian compliance. It aims to support South Africa's call issued to the UN General Assembly and the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) to take immediate action under Article VIII of the Genocide Convention in response to Israel's forced starvation of Gaza. Includes maps, satellite imagery, visualizations, viewable online or through a downloadable 161-page report. Important resource for researchers working on the relationship between humanitarian aid architecture and genocide, the GHF controversy, and the use of aid control as a tool of ethnic cleansing and population management in Gaza. This resource connects the humanitarian and legal dimensions of starvation as a weapon of war.
