What is inside the GHF food aid box being distributed in Gaza?
Published: 7/25/2025

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is distributing food aid boxes in Gaza to address the starvation crisis affecting more than two million Palestinians. These food boxes primarily contain dried food items like pasta, chickpeas, lentils, and wheat flour, along with cooking oil, salt, and tahini. Critics have raised concerns about the nutritional value of the boxes, pointing out deficiencies in calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamins critical for overall health, especially for vulnerable groups like young children. Despite providing enough calories to survive, experts warn that prolonged consumption of these food items could lead to serious health issues.
