The Trump administration has authorized $30 million in funding to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israeli-backed group distributing food and aid in Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. This marks the first known direct financial contribution from the U.S. government to the GHF, which has been involved in humanitarian aid distribution in the war-torn region. The U.S. State Department confirmed the approval of this funding and called on other countries to support the organization. The decision has drawn criticism from other humanitarian groups due to concerns over violence near the GHF's aid distribution sites. Despite these concerns, the Trump administration proceeded with the funding to support the aid operation in Gaza.
France says the operations of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation have caused a bloodbath in humanitarian help distribution lines but the U.S. is expected to release $30m in funding to GHF "in the next day or so" per a US official.
