Trump administration authorizes $30 million for Israeli-backed group distributing food in Gaza
June 24, 2025
The Trump administration has authorized providing $30 million to a U.S.- and Israeli-backed group distributing food in Gaza. That’s according to a U.S. official on Tuesday. The request is the first known U.S. government funding for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s aid distribution operation amid the Israel-Hamas war. The announcement comes as violence and chaos have plagued the new food distribution sites since opening last month. GHF says no one has been killed at the aid sites themselves and that it has delivered 44 million meals to Palestinians in need. The U.N. and humanitarian groups accuse the foundation of cooperating with Israel’s objectives in the 21-month-old war against Hamas in a way that violates humanitarian principles.
