US and Israel Develop Controversial Plan for Gaza Aid Distribution Amid Growing Concerns
The United States has confirmed its intention to involve private firms in delivering aid to Gaza, despite warnings from UN agencies about potential dangers to the local population. Israel, facing severe humanitarian conditions, plans to initially provide aid to only 60% of Gazans, with rising fears of mass starvation. As discussions progress, aid groups express alarm over the proposed Israeli control of aid distribution, which they believe could exacerbate the crisis and endanger lives. The plan includes significant involvement from U.S. military contractors and aims to bypass Hamas, raising further moral dilemmas in the international community. Former officials and new foundations are being proposed to oversee the distribution, as the humanitarian situation becomes increasingly dire.
