GHF Head: UN's Aid Mafia Monopoly Preserves Hamas Control of Gaza


(Jerusalem Post) Amichai Stein - Johnnie Moore, who oversees the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, described to the Jerusalem Post a corrupt and complicit international aid system that empowered Hamas for years. "I've watched a broken system that professes to help people when very often it only helps itself," Moore said. "Hamas controlling aid isn't the exception - it's the rule." GHF operates large-scale distribution centers aimed at bypassing Hamas and getting food directly to Palestinian civilians. "It's incredibly telling that the first thing Hamas wanted to negotiate was preserving the UN's monopoly on Gaza aid," Moore said. He accused UN agencies of maintaining a monopoly that, in practice, enabled Hamas to control nearly every food parcel that entered Gaza. Moore said Hamas is now stealing food from civilians after they collect it. "We actually have video of Hamas terrorists intercepting aid beneficiaries and taking their food as they return home." The GHF has been quietly supported by staff within major aid organizations who are fed up with the system. "We have a growing list of whistleblowers from the international aid community," Moore said. "They believe the entire sector is corrupt from the top down." He recently met with EU leaders in Brussels, where "many admitted the old system empowered Hamas, but they're still too invested in it to change."
