Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is a US-based private nonprofit responsible for delivering humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

Beginning operations in late May 2025, the GHF is the result of US and Israeli efforts to ensure humanitarian aid does not go into the hands of Hamas and bypasses traditional channels. 

The nonprofit's current head is Rev. Dr. Johnnie Moore.
