The United States has launched a new initiative, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), to handle aid distribution in Gaza amid a blockade that has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis. US officials stated that this foundation will operate independently from the United Nations to allegedly prevent aid from being misappropriated by Hamas. Critics express concern that bypassing the UN could undermine the legitimacy and effectiveness of aid efforts. Israel's role will be to provide security for the foundation; however, doubts remain regarding whether this approach will alleviate humanitarian issues for the civilian population.
The newly created Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aims to take charge of aid distribution in Gaza, bypassing traditional channels like the UN, to prevent diversion to Hamas.
Israel's refusal to lift its blockade unless it retains control over aid distribution highlights the challenges of delivering humanitarian assistance to civilians.
