Thirty-five independent UN human rights experts have called for the “immediate dismantling” of the GHF, which they said is in “serious breach of international law”.

“The GHF, a nongovernmental organisation created by Israel in February 2025, with US support, to allegedly distribute aid in Gaza, is an utterly disturbing example of how humanitarian relief can be exploited for covert military and geopolitical agendas,” the experts said.

The experts added that “at least 859 people have been killed around GHF sites since the beginning of GHF’s operations in late May 2025.

“Calling it ‘humanitarian’ adds on to Israel’s humanitarian camouflage and is an insult to the humanitarian enterprise and standards,” they added.

In a statement shared by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the experts urged governments to “impose a full arms embargo on Israel” and “suspend trade and investment agreements that may result in harming the Palestinians and hold corporate entities accountable”.
