GHF has in social media shared pictures of the contents of the boxes and most of the goods are dry and require access to clean water and fuel to cook. It is about, among other things, wheat flour, pasta, chickpeas, bulgur and lentils. In addition, the boxes contain cooking oil, salt and tahini.
The British public service company BBC has spoken with a professor of international aid work who has analyzed the content and believes that there are "serious weaknesses" with the food.
"First aid food box"
The biggest deficiency is what is missing, says Professor Stuart Gordon to BBC and calls it a "first aid food box" designed to stop the most acute starvation.
Such a diet for several weeks leads to "hidden hunger", which increases the risk of diseases such as anemia and scurvy, he says.
Andrew Seal, lecturer in international nutrition, says that the boxes lack several important vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin C, D, B12 and K.
Warns of mass starvation
He tells BBC that organizations that have more experience of distributing food, such as the UN, usually make sure that the aid contains targeted nutrition for vulnerable groups.
More than two million Palestinians are facing a famine due to the strict Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. Earlier in the week, over a hundred aid organizations went out and warned that mass starvation is spreading in Gaza due to the lack of food.
BBC has contacted GHF who has not returned.
