US EditionA Propos - Controversial Aid Group Starts Operations in Gaza: "Not a Viable Solution", Expert Says
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.-backed aid group, began distributing food at secured hubs in Gaza on Monday, May 27, 2025.
- The initiative arose after Israel and the U.S. Approved a new aid delivery system amid a three-month blockade, but faced opposition from the UN and other aid groups over impartiality concerns.
- The Foundation’s distribution centers, protected by private security, plan to assist roughly half of Gaza’s population, but Hamas has condemned the initiative and cautioned residents against engaging with it.
- Jake Wood, the executive director of the Foundation, resigned on Monday, stating that he could not support the aid program as it compromises essential humanitarian values such as fairness, neutrality, and operational autonomy.
- The operation’s future remains uncertain due to internal disputes, Hamas threats, and international criticism, suggesting challenges to effective aid delivery in Gaza.
