Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it distributed two million meals in past 4 days

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announces that it has distributed over two million meals in the four days that it has been providing aid to Gazan civilians.

The total number of meals, says the GHF in its daily update, is “approximately 2,170,822 via roughly 23,040 boxes.”

Each box is meant to provide three meals a day, for about four days, for a family of roughly five people.

The Tel Sultan distribution site along the Egypt-Gaza border distributed six truckloads of food today, according to the statement, totaling 5,760 boxes providing approximately 332,640 meals.

There were no security incidents over the past day, says GHF.

The foundation’s past statements have downplayed or whitewashed breakdowns in order and shots fired by private security contractors.

“No civilians or individuals involved with the distribution of aid were injured, no lives were lost and all available food was distributed without interference this week,” says GHF.

The UN has said 600 trucks of aid need to be distributed each day in order to properly feed the Strip’s roughly two million people.

GHF has faced criticism due to the lack of access for tens of thousands of residents still located in north Gaza, but it says that it plans to open additional sites — including in the northern Strip — in the coming weeks.

“This is just the beginning,” says interim executive director John Acree. “Our commitment to safely and effectively supplying food directly to a large, hungry population is unwavering, and we look forward to continuing to scale and strengthen on our initial undertakings to help meet the basic food security needs of the people in Gaza.”
