An American-led Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, backed by Israel, seeks $30 million in US aid to continue its controversial Gaza aid distribution. The foundation projects a $150 million monthly budget, totaling $1.8 billion annually. The aid effort has faced criticism for its lack of transparency, potential cooperation with Israeli objectives, and the deaths of Palestinians attempting to reach aid sites. While the US initially denied funding, two officials suggest the administration will provide the requested funds, bypassing standard review processes. The foundation's funding sources remain largely unclear beyond vague references to "other government donors."
