An international charity with operations in the Middle East and Afghanistan has reported being coerced to pay a fee of $5,000 per truck to a company associated with Egypt's General Intelligence Service (GIS) to transport aid into Gaza. This situation has raised concerns about potential state-linked profiteering from humanitarian aid efforts. The charity, which provides emergency aid in regions affected by wars, famines, and earthquakes, expressed that it has never before been treated in such a manner by a state benefitting financially from the distribution of humanitarian goods. An investigation by Middle East Eye has brought this issue to light, indicating the imposition of a 'management fee' by the GIS-linked firm for aid delivery to Gaza.
