GHF Spokesman Chapin Fay told us, "You can see some smiling faces. Certainly, these are desperate, hungry people. And, we are not enough. Our critics say that we're not enough. We agree. We were never meant to meet this. We were never meant to meet this need alone. We would love to work with other NGOs, and the United Nations to scale both our operations safely and securely.”

Some media reports say the distribution sites are death traps. Yet, Fay asserts that reports of hundreds of people being killed at their distribution sites are untrue.

“Well, number one, there are no casualties on our sites," he said. "We've never had a casualty. Our security professionals have never fired their weapons at anyone.  We're here to feed people. We've done so to the tune of over 130 million meals in less than three months. Yesterday, we'll hit probably 130, 132 today.”

Fay continued, "As you can see, this is yet another successful distribution. Over the last month, they have been running much more smoothly, much more securely and efficiently, and safely. And we plan to get better and better every day and feed more and more people every day."

After the controlled chaos of many of the men coming in to receive humanitarian aid, the GHF, just about a month ago, developed a plan where the women would wait a little longer and would get individual food for themselves and their families. 

One GHF operations manager, who needs to remain anonymous, told CBN News, “I mean, it's an emotional event every time I'm down at one of these. It's thrilling. Scary. But from an impact standpoint, I don't know if there's any place on earth I'd rather be. And I wish I could start doing this a lot sooner.”

He continued, “I mean, it's a it's a mission. It's, obviously, we're employees and there's and there's a benefit for being here. But, to be a service member who's retired and (to) actually have purpose again, people to use some of the skills that we have to do something totally different, completely different, and stable. It's an amazing opportunity, and it's something that's once in a lifetime.”

On the ground, the GHF has organized a security team, logistics experts, aid workers, and more, with one mission.

The operations manager observed, “We're just trying to get the aid out. I think what you see on the ground today is a reflection of what we've we've built towards. There's been chaos, but within that chaos, it's become more and more organized. And even now, behind me, you see the women that are lining up. We're not telling them to do this. The Gazans have developed their own system, and all we have to do is feed that system.”

In the process, they're developing a relationship with the people of Gaza.

“We get to know them and they get to know us," one aid worker stated. "They understand our schedule. We understand their needs.  And between those two things, we're going to match a point where we certainly beat food insecurity. There's a long road ahead of us, but we're on the right path.”

Jonathan Conricus, senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, told us the GHF is proving itself.

“It's, tough, crucial. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has shown, through the leadership of Reverend Johnny Moore and many other professionals, brave American patriots and professionals that work in that organization, that it is possible to provide clean, healthy, dignified food to civilians in Gaza without Hamas or corrupt U.N. organizations profiting from it," Conricus declared.

He added, "And you know, there's been an ongoing slander campaign led by U.N. institutions and with a lot of complicity in international media against the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. You can see that through their steadfastness and their commitment to the mission. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been able to withstand that. And today, they are on the ground. There are four active centers, and others are being built and prepared. Hundreds of thousands of meals are being delivered every day.”

Conricus contends that GHF presents a serious threat to Hamas.

He suggested, “If anything will bring Hamas down, I think it is the combination of there being an alternative for distribution of food, military pressure by Israel, and the three countries that support Hamas and give Hamas the lifeline and diplomatic and financial cover that they currently enjoy."

One of the demands by Hamas in recent negotiations was to shut down the GHF because it represents a threat to the terror group's monopoly on aid coming into the Gaza Strip. It's estimated that last year, Hamas made $500 million by looting and selling aid coming into Gaza.   

Chapin Fay noted, "As you can see, this is yet another successful distribution. Over the last month, they have been running much more smoothly, much more securely and efficiently, and safely. And we plan to get better and better every day and feed more and more people every day."

Fay explained that the foundation provides an alternative to other aid distribution by the U.N. and other organizations that has been stolen by Hamas.

"You see Hamas riding around with armed men, stealing the aid, and taking it," Fay insisted. "We believe Hamas made $1 billion during this war alone. And that's why we're here. We are doing it, in a way – we're feeding people in a way that Hamas or anyone else cannot steal it.

"In the month of July, only 6.5 percent of their (UN) aid got to where it was supposed to be," Fay told us. "That's a 93.5 percent diversion rate.”  Fay added that 90 percent of GHF aid gets distributed. 

The GHF personnel on the ground are hoping they can add significantly to the millions of meals they have distributed so far.

“A lot of that is going to be dependent on the safety of the people," the operations manager said. "That’s foremost on our mind. It would solve a lot of the problems of overcrowding.”

Despite the dangers, slanders, and challenges, this manager tells CBN News how most of them feel.

"I think we're just happy to be here. Thrilled to be here. It's a worthwhile endeavor, and to be an American and to have this experience is a great honor.”`
