The public sentiment surrounding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is overwhelmingly negative, characterized by deep concern, anger, and despair. Commenters describe the ongoing violence as genocidal and criticize both local and international responses, highlighting a general feeling of moral outrage and helplessness in the face of bureaucratic and geopolitical failures. The portrayal of the situation in the media and the politicization of humanitarian aid are also prominent issues in the discourse.

&gt; CNN
&gt;  — 
&gt;   
&gt; Multiple aid workers were killed after a bus was attacked in Gaza on Wednesday night, according to a US-backed humanitarian aid organization which accused Hamas of carrying out the assault.
&gt;   
&gt; Hamas has yet to respond to the allegations.
&gt;   
&gt; The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a [controversial](https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/30/middleeast/gaza-humanitarian-foundation-screenings-hamas-intl) US and Israeli-backed aid initiative, said that a bus carrying more than two dozen of its team members was attacked by Hamas at around 10 p.m. local time.
&gt;   
&gt; “We are still gathering facts, but what we know is devastating: there are at least five fatalities, multiple injuries, and fear that some of our team members may have been taken hostage,” GHF said in a statement.
&gt;   
&gt; The group was en route to a distribution center in the area west of Khan Younis, GHF said, adding further details would be provided once they became known.
&gt;   
&gt; “We condemn this heinous and deliberate attack in the strongest possible terms,” the GHF said in a statement.
&gt;   
&gt; The GHF also accused Hamas of repeatedly threatening the organization in recent days.
&gt;   
&gt; On Sunday, Hamas media said its forces have “full authority and mandate to strike decisively against any entity or individual collaborating with the enemy’s plans or with any rogue, criminal, or traitorous elements that violate the law and the traditions of our people.”
&gt;   
&gt; “All agents, thieves, and armed criminal gangs are considered legitimate targets for the resistance and its security apparatus,” the militant group said.
&gt;   
&gt; The GHF was established amid Israeli accusations that Hamas is stealing aid in Gaza and profiting off its sale but the organization has been controversial from the get-go and criticized by multiple international aid agencies.
&gt;   
&gt; The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains desperate.
&gt;   
&gt; Restrictions imposed by the Israeli military on aid routes, ongoing airstrikes, a lack of security and the continuous displacement of tens of thousands of people are aggravating an already alarming situation, according to the United Nations and other aid agencies. The supplies that do get in risk getting looted and only a fraction of what is needed is getting in.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation who are actually just Mercenaries that have been working with the IOF to massacre Palestinians. Are we seriously calling them aid workers?

Are we actually doing that?

BlackAfroUchiha

&gt;The **Gaza Humanitarian Foundation** (**GHF**) is an American organization, based in Delaware, established in February 2025 to distribute [humanitarian aid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_aid) during the ongoing [Gaza humanitarian crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_humanitarian_crisis_(2023%E2%80%93present)).[^(\[1\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Humanitarian_Foundation#cite_note-1) Formerly led by executive director [Jake Wood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Wood_(veteran)) until his resignation on May 25, 2025, it has the backing of the [Trump administration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump) and the [Israeli government](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-seventh_government_of_Israel). It has been criticised by the United Nations and humanitarian groups for politicizing aid distribution, with well-established humanitarian groups saying the GHF is giving cover for Israel to pursue its aims to depopulate Gaza from Palestinians

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza\_Humanitarian\_Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Humanitarian_Foundation)

So their words hold less than no weight.

erryonestolemyname

Disgusting if true, given the nature and purpose of their work.

But this is also IDF we’re talking about and Israel lies, has been caught lying. These “aid workers” could’ve been innocent civilians in the same way that Palestinian emergency crew were “erratically-driving suspected combatants.”

GHF is not an independent aid agency, that’s an incontestable fact. Until someone besides an Israeli government asset confirms it, this is just more gold under the hospital. 

SomeDumRedditor

The “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” has zero credibility, because as it turns out the “aid workers” who were killed today were literally the ABU SHABAB CLAN, an ISIS-affiliated violent gang that was recorded conducting multiple violent carjackings of aid convoys, murdered aid workers and palestinians, all under the watch of the Israeli army.

These men have been filmed, hundreds of times, stealing aid at gunpoint, shooting civilians trying to get aid, diverting trucks, murdering aid truck drivers, while being metres away from Israeli troops. Netanyahu only just this month admitted that they were indeed arming and protecting them (after 10 months of denial and pretending they were “Hamas-affiliated”), and now GHF has hired literal jihadi criminals with a history of stealing aid and reselling at extortionate prices to be their “aid workers”

blurghh

The USA/west/Israel bad mouth UNWRA out if the aid distribution network and murder and capture aid/emergency workers constantly then have the audacity to try and frame Palestinians for this one attack

Worth also noting since the US have taken over the aid distribution it's been a complete fuck up. How can anyone trust the US/Israel when they deny they're doing a genocide in the first place is crazy. Can't trust a single thing the LiesDF says when they say they're fighting a war yet stream/post photos of their own war crimes constantly.

Aid distribution should be back in UNWRA's hands 100%. Fk Israel and fk the US

major_jazza

Hama kills aid workers on their way to distribute food to starving Palestinians, and people on this sub celebrate.  Makes one start to believe Hamas is happy people are staving. Hamas accused the workers are “collaborating” with Israel. The reality is that most of the food entering Gaza since 1967 has been collaborated with Israel. That’s because the road to Gaza goes through Israel. This means that all the food Hamas people are eating today also comes via collaboration.

manhattanabe

Assuming this is all true, which isn’t necessarily an assumption I want to make at this point, this isn’t exactly shocking. These kind of attacks don’t happen to groups like the Palestine Red Crescent or World Central Kitchen (at least not Palestinian attacks). They happened with the GHF because it’s viewed (pretty rightfully) as collaborationist. Whether you like it or not, people and organizations thought to be collaborating with the enemy, especially in the midst of an armed conflict, are often targeted. From what I’ve seen, Hamas has made it clear collaboration will be met with excess violence. 

I’ll be interested to see how they know it was Hamas and who was killed and/or possibly kidnapped.

FerdinandTheGiant

i’m anti Israel but sometimes you guys in here need to be able to call a spade a spade and not get all defensive and someone try and round it back to Israel in some way. It starts to make this sub feel like an inverse of the world news.

This is story is fucked, and Hamas deserve the same condemnation as Israel killing aid workers if this is the case.

wrigh2uk

So many new accounts suddenly posting on here for the last couple of days actively supporting Israeli lies and regurgitating slop from the Israeli media and IDF lies. 

Its so interesting to see Hasbara march in and try to control the narrative. 

I reserve anything Israel or its US based merc support organisation has to say until we see more proof. 

So many civilians have been killed in the lines waiting for food over the last week and things have been relatively quiet now all of a sudden this happens? 

We’ll see if this is true or another Israeli lie and if the attacked ‘workers’ happen to be mercenaries or civilians.

Unable_Duck9588

It's pretty fascinating to see the people writing them off because they're US/Israeli lead, and then immediately turning to 'disprove' it with a counter narrative of *accusations* 'reported by the hamas run' aid centers.

You wanna doubt both? fair. You wanna believe both? fair. But the complete re-writing of logic and values to contrive ways to *only support* whatever side a person is on in this conflict is driving me insane.

FlakTotem

kidnapping and killing palestinian aid workers now, just another day in the office for Hamas, endless depths of depravity.  Those taken are going to end up with their throats opened ear to ear, a clear message to all of Gaza

HockeyHocki

The fact that the GHF hired *literal aid jackers* the Abu Shabab clan to “deliver and protect aid” says everything about them

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/11/hamas-has-killed-50-palestinian-fighters-armed-by-israel-in-gaza-factions-associates-say

I would ***love*** to know. Even if we had videos of armed people killing the mercenaries, how would we be able to know that it wasn't the Israeli-funded Yasser Abu Shabab gang?

ExtremeAcceptable289

I don’t trust the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this is true. It benefits both the leadership of Hamas and Israel to continue this horrific situation and neither seems to have any genuine intention to come to a peaceful two state solution.

men_with-ven

The only terrorists killing aid workers is the terrorist IDF. 

GHF are private mercenaries, only there to help provide cover to the genocide. They have massacred starving Palestinians every day, after luring them with "care packages".  Just another tool in the Hasbara campaign.

your_red_triangle

"The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a [controversial](https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/30/middleeast/gaza-humanitarian-foundation-screenings-hamas-intl) US and Israeli-backed aid initiative" 

Ah, so its made up story.

“While Palestinians were actively attacking Israeli”

You know under international law, Palestinians have a legal right to armed resistance against illegal occupation

The whole region is one big catastrophic mess. It's terrorism, a war, a genocide, a hostage crisis, a blockade, starvation, and apartheid all in one. No one is safe and nowhere is safe.

Ceasefires were violated. Trust has been destroyed. And now it seems to be a competition of which side can commit the most [war crimes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Gaza_war).

And if you listen to all the virtue-signalling, fake journalists and commentators, they will make you believe that Greta Thunberg is somehow the problem...as opposed to wanted war criminals. If it wasn't so tragic it would be funny...

The sooner this chapter of history ends, the better.

Sbeast

No it didn't. Tons of Gazan accounts were celebrating the death of the Abu Shabab gang members yesterday. It was all over Arabic Gazan Twitter. Hamas promised to go after his gang, and they did. He even put out a statement after the IOF saved him saying "we'll fight to the end" or something to that effect.

Shiroi_Kage

This entire thread “Israel isn’t letting in enough food, they’re starving people, the aid workers they picked aren’t the right ones” grow up, food is getting to people that need it now. Yall complain of no food and then complain about who’s handing out food, it’s hilarious.

#Official Statement:


&gt;Urgent Statement from The Gaza
Humanitarian Foundation

&gt;Tonight, at approximately 10 p.m. Gaza time, a bus carrying more than two-dozen members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation team, local Palestinians working side-by-side with the U.S. GHF team to deliver critical aid, were brutally attacked by Hamas. At the time of the attack, our team was en route to one of our distribution centers in the area west of Khan Younis.
We are still gathering facts, but what we know is devastating: there are at least five fatalities, multiple injuries, and fear that some of our team members may have been taken hostage. We condemn this heinous and deliberate attack in the strongest possible terms. These were aid workers. Humanitarians. Fathers, brothers, sons, and friends, who were risking their lives everyday to help others. Our hearts are broken and our thoughts and prayers are with every victim, every family, and every person still unaccounted for.
This attack did not happen in a vacuum. For days, Hamas has openly threatened our team, our aid workers, and the civilians who receive aid from us. These threats were met with silence.
The GHF holds Hamas fully responsible for taking the lives of our dedicated workers who have been distributing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people at the foundation's sites in central and southern Gaza.
Tonight, the world must see this for what it is: an attack on humanity. We call on the international community to immediately condemn Hamas for this unprovoked attack and continued threat against our people simply trying to feed the Palestinian people.
We will release additional information once it becomes available. Despite this heinous attack, we will continue our mission to provide critical aid to the people of Gaza.

vsv2021

I’ve been saying this for years. Hamas attacks innocents then points the finger at Israel. Fools believe Hamas and the cycle continues. Sad!

Meritocrat_Vez

Weird for Hamas to attack their own people like this. Oh right: Hamas is not representative of the Palestinian people. Turns out people who were conflating the Palestinian civilian population with Hamas were fucking stupid and should feel fucking stupid.

SeamlessR

Israel's response in Gaza has been horrific, but anyone operating under the assumption that that it isn't exactly what Hamas wanted *when they launched October 7th* is being foolish. Israel has become a global pariah, a worthy prize for a radical seeking martyrdom. Nobody in power in either Netanyahu's government, or what's left of Hamas's leadership, actually wants this to end.

Edited for clarity.

EmergencyTaco

Huh, I wonder how the left will blame Israel

SpartanNation053

Anyone else questions why hasn’t Hamas surrendered yet and think for the greater good of their people they should?

Extinction00

Where are all the protestors? Right, they only protest for terrorists, not against terrorists.

callmeish0

The comments in this thread are disheartening. 

Those poor aid workers. For those taken hostage, I hope they are released right away. For those killed, may their memories be a blessing.

Rtn2NYC

Wow finally mainstream media is starting to tell the truth on Hamas

AwareMoney3206

That is so fucked up. The palestians should round of the Hamas and deliver them to Israel, they clearly care more about war than their own people.

Infamous_Ebb_5561

Oh hey, I/P discussion in arr centrist. This will be fun.

FearlessPark4588

Still waiting for anyone on the left to unequivocally and vehemently insist that Hamas be brought to justice. Ditto the UN. Someone demonstrate that that is their goal, and that they have a proposed plan for it that is better than Israel's. I'd love to hear about it.

palsh7

From the article: 

&gt; Multiple aid workers were killed after a bus was attacked in Gaza on Wednesday night, according to a US-backed humanitarian aid organization which accused Hamas of carrying out the assault.

&gt; Hamas has yet to respond to the allegations.

Further:

&gt; The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a controversial US and Israeli-backed aid initiative, said that a bus carrying more than two dozen of its team members was attacked by Hamas at around 10 p.m. local time.
&gt; “We are still gathering facts”

As much as I dislike Hamas, Israel is no saint in propaganda warfare. The source even admits they can’t confirm. This is a very touchy subject we should be careful jumping for either side until full facts given.

Kaszos

 Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is a newly made US org.
Its wierd this is being used to destribute the food and not the dozen already there and active aid orgs.

Probably because these are utterly US based and controlled.

Is this talking about Netanyahu‘s pet ISIS terrorists? because they were just nearly wiped out. Or is this story about the mercenaries he’s using to deliver below the bare minimum of aid in order to give cover to the genocide of the Palestinian people, as directly stated was the intention by Netanyahu?
