A consulting firm involved in the scandal-plagued Gaza Humanitarian Foundation entered into a multimillion-dollar contract to develop the initiative and modelled a plan to “relocate” Palestinians from Gaza as part of its work, a Financial Times investigation has revealed.
The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) helped design and run the US and Israeli-backed scheme which aimed to supplant United Nations-led aid coordination mechanisms in Gaza.
The chaotic roll out of the programme has seen 600 Palestinians killed and another 4,000 wounded by Israeli forces while attempting to access aid.
The firm has disavowed its involvement in the project, claiming in a statement in June that it had initially provided “pro bono support” for the project, but two senior partners that led the work “failed to disclose” its full nature and had subsequently carried out “unauthorised work” on the project.
It said that the partners have since been fired and an investigation has been launched into the firm’s involvement in the scheme.
