The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation & The Battle Over Aid in Gaza – with Rev. Johnnie Moore

For years, UNRWA positioned itself as the primary source of humanitarian aid in Gaza. But after October 7, its deep entanglement with Hamas became undeniable. A dozen UNRWA employees participated in the massacre. Up to 10% of its Gaza staff are linked to terror groups. And aid meant for civilians has been diverted, looted, and weaponized to fund Hamas’s war machine.
So what’s the alternative?
In this episode, host Aviva Klompas speaks with Rev. Johnnie Moore, Executive Chairman of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—a new initiative led by global leaders determined to deliver food and aid directly to civilians, without empowering terrorists.
They discuss what’s happening on the ground in Gaza, how Hamas is manipulating the aid system, and why legacy organizations like UNRWA are fiercely resisting new models of humanitarian relief.
