U.S. Approves $30 Million Funding for Controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Amidst Violence Concerns
The U.S. State Department has approved $30 million in funding for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a decision criticized by rights groups and humanitarian organizations. GHF claims to have distributed tens of thousands of food boxes at various sites in Gaza, yet faces allegations of potential complicity in war crimes and international law violations. The contentious initiative, tied to Israeli backing, has drawn scrutiny, with concerns raised over its effectiveness amidst ongoing violence and chaos in the region. Despite these issues, the Trump administration has pledged to support the GHF’s operation, igniting debates on U.S. involvement in the humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
