The U.S. has a plan for getting food into Gaza. Top aid groups object to the idea

The U.S. and Israel have proposed resuming humanitarian aid to Gaza after a ten-week ban, pressuring Hamas through withholding supplies as leverage during President Trump's visit to Gulf allies. The plan would supply food and essentials to 60% of Gaza's population initially but faces opposition from major aid groups due to concerns about bypassing the U.N.-backed distribution system, potential overcrowding, and alignment with Israel's military strategies. While Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has endorsed the plan, emphasizing direct aid delivery, its implementation hinges on Trump completing his visit this week; otherwise, Israel may proceed with broader aid rollouts.
