John,

In recent weeks, more than 1000 starving people have been killed desperately trying to access aid in Gaza. Twenty more died in a stampede just days ago – desperate families crushed while trying to get food.

Who’s behind this disaster? A shadowy new group called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – a so-called “aid” operation backed by the US and Israeli governments. This isn’t just a humanitarian failure – it’s a scandal.

The United Nations and other respected humanitarian organizations have raised the alarm, but right now, the public is in the dark. And together we are going to change that.

Ekō is ready to launch an urgent campaign to blow the lid off the GHF’s secretive operations – investigating who is profiting, how the aid is being weaponised, and who is responsible. Together, we could expose the role of US security contractors, flood the media with the truth, and mobilise massive public pressure to shut this operation down before more people die.

But we can’t do it without your help. Will you chip in today to help launch this critical investigation and fund all our work to stop the horrors in Gaza?

The GHF was quietly launched in May with the support of the US and Israeli governments. The group, which had no experience distributing food in conflict zones, uses US mercenaries at militarised hubs, claiming it will “streamline” aid to Gaza.

Instead, American military contractors and Israeli forces have continually opened fire into desperate crowds of hungry families in chaotic scenes that the UN has described as “death traps”. 

The UN and countless aid groups have boycotted GHF and demanded it halt operations, saying the group is violating core humanitarian principles, bypassing neutral aid agencies.

Yet new reports indicate the US is planning to send another $500 million of aid via GHF. It feels like a militarisation and politicisation of political aid, while the people of Gaza starve. We have to do something to stop it.

Ekō is already lining up investigators, journalists, and legal experts to dig into the GHF’s secret deals, expose their ties to military contractors, and confront the governments behind this deadly scheme. But investigations like this take time and resources – and we can’t do it without you.

If you believe aid should never be a weapon of war, please donate now to help launch this investigation and power all our work to end the horrors in Gaza.
