Join Anthony Aguilar and Josh Rushing at Busboys and Poets 14th and V for a screening and discussion of Al-Jazeera's Fault Lines: The Killing Field
The documentary investigates the killings of Palestinians seeking aid at GHF sites in Gaza.
After months of blockade and starvation in Gaza, Israel allowed a new United States venture – the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – to distribute food. Branded as a lifeline, its sites quickly became known by Palestinians and dozens of human rights groups as “death traps”.
Fault Lines investigates how civilians seeking aid were funnelled through militarised zones, where thousands were killed or injured under fire.
Through the testimonies of grieving families, a former contractor, and human rights experts, the film exposes how GHF’s operations replaced UNRWA’s proven aid system with a scheme critics say was designed for displacement, not relief. At the heart of this investigation is a haunting question: was GHF delivering humanitarian aid – or helping turn breadlines into killing fields?
