• The UK parliamentary committee demands Boston Consulting Group clarify its role in Gaza.
• BCG faces backlash for its involvement in the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
• Over 700 Palestinians reportedly died while seeking aid from GHF.
• Two senior BCG partners resigned as part of the scandal's fallout.
• Save the Children suspended their partnership with BCG due to ethical concerns.

A UK parliamentary committee is intensively scrutinizing the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for its involvement with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has come under severe criticism. Labour MP Liam Byrne, chairing the committee, has requested detailed information on BCG’s consultancy work in Gaza, including a timeline and disclosures related to associated organizations, as well as clarification on controversial relocation plans for Palestinians, emphasizing the public interest in these matters. Byrne's letter highlights the committee's authority to compel testimonies and records about the firm's activities, with a response deadline set for July 22, 2025, according to Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye.

BCG's actions related to the GHF have raised alarms as Gaza health authorities have reported over 700 Palestinian deaths related to aid distribution conducted by GHF since its establishment in May 2025. Rights organizations and governments have denounced BCG's involvement, accusing it of facilitating a militarized scheme presented as humanitarian aid. Byrne's inquiry follows reports that BCG directly aided in costing models to facilitate potential relocations of Palestinians, which have been met with widespread condemnation, as detailed by Middle East Eye and TRT Global.

In light of the controversy, two senior partners at BCG have resigned amid public outrage and internal backlash. The firm’s chief risk officer and head of its social-impact practice were reported to step down from leadership roles while acknowledging prior knowledge of the contentious aid operations but claimed ignorance regarding the full extent of actions taken later, according to reports from the Middle East Eye and the Wall Street Journal. BCG stated that two of its partners who were dismissed had acted without authorization, and they have distanced themselves from the project, seeking to mitigate reputational damage.

Furthermore, the humanitarian organization Save the Children has suspended its partnership with BCG, referencing ethical concerns regarding BCG’s attempt to quantify the cost of forcibly relocating Gazans amidst ongoing humanitarian crises. Their CEO condemned the firm’s methodologies as “devoid of humanity” following revelations of BCG’s plans to displace over 500,000 Palestinians with financial packages, demonstrating the tension between humanitarian ethics and corporate involvement in conflict zones, which has been reported by TRT Global and Middle East Eye.
