McNally Capital's Controversial Ties with Gaza Aid Operations
- On Thursday, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation resumed aid distribution at sites in Gaza secured by Israel Defense Forces soldiers after a one-day pause on Wednesday.

- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has delivered nearly 8.5 million meals without incident since last week, insisting it has improved security and site maintenance to ensure safe aid delivery.
- An investment group connected to the family that founded Rand McNally holds a financial stake and provides advisory support to Safe Reach Solutions, a logistics company led by former CIA officer Phil Reilly that assists with operations for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
- The involvement of McNally Capital and the militarized aid model attracts scrutiny amid wider conflict, raising concerns over privatization and neutrality from the United Nations and other aid groups.
