Forensic Architecture has been researching Israel’s military conduct in Gaza since 2023, including the targeting of aid and aid infrastructure. Since early 2025, Israel’s targeting of aid has escalated further, and the introduction of its own model of aid distribution has brought starvation in Gaza to crisis point. The findings outlined in our latest report demonstrate how, since 18 March 2025, Israel has effectively dismantled the existing ‘civilian model’ of aid distribution, which has long operated through a network of international and local humanitarian organisations, in collaboration with local community leaders and civil structures, to deliver aid directly to the people of Gaza. In its place, Israel has imposed a ‘military model’—implemented through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and now also through airdrops—that is dangerous, insufficient to prevent starvation, and cannot be considered ‘humanitarian.’ We have observed patterns in the Israeli military’s approach to aid distribution which indicate that the Palestinian population is being forcibly displaced and re-concentrated in areas unable to support civilian life; that reaching aid has become dangerous and deadly for Palestinians; and that the civil order in Gaza is being undermined, and the region’s social fabric dismantled. In our analysis, we understand patterns to mean the repetition of same, similar, or related incidents, at different times and places. Such patterns may indicate that these attacks are designed or intended, formally or informally, rather than occurring at random. This report builds on our previous analysis of Israeli military attacks on aid in Gaza between October 2023 and September 2024, to focus on aid distribution in Gaza between 18 March 2025—when Israel ended the ceasefire with Hamas—and 1 August 2025, the furthest extent of our dataset at the time of analysis.
