The humanitarian situation in Gaza is increasingly troubling, with U.S. officials, including Senator Marco Rubio, expressing their concern and calling for alternative solutions to address the crisis. The United Nations has rejected a U.S.-backed aid plan, citing a lack of neutrality and potential dangers to humanitarian workers. Despite these setbacks, a U.S.-backed group is set to begin operations in Gaza by the end of May, though critics warn that the plan could further exacerbate the situation. Israel has agreed to resume aid after a two-month freeze, but the delivery mechanism remains controversial, with plans for surveillance involved in aid distribution. The U.N. and several organizations are voicing opposition to the increasing militarization of humanitarian aid, raising fears of the consequences for civilians in Gaza amid a severe blockade and ongoing hostilities.
