The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation intends to expand its food distribution operations from four sites to sixteen, aiming for 24-hour service to improve efficiency. U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee stated that the U.S. controls this organization, which has been operational with U.S. security contractors. Although previously uninvolved, the U.S. pledged $30 million for GHF operations. The timeline and financing for expanding aid operations to central and northern Gaza remain uncertain, amidst international concerns about starvation and allegations of Hamas misappropriating aid.
The immediate plan is to scale up the number of sites up to 16 and begin to operate them as much as 24 hours a day to get more food to people, more efficiency.
Increased U.S. control of the GHF would represent an abrupt shift for the administration, which had little to do with its formation or operations until pledging a $30 million contribution in June.
Israel has long claimed that Hamas was stealing and profiting from humanitarian assistance brought in by the United Nations.
The GHF referred questions about the expansion plans to the Trump administration. The State Department, which handles U.S. humanitarian aid, declined to comment.
