U.S. Approves $30 Million for Contentious New Gaza Aid Group. Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been criticized by the United Nations and other aid groups. Israeli military says it fired “warning shots” when people approached soldiers threateningly. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has pushed back on reports of violence near its sites. Israel has frequently hindered the flow of aid to the enclave since the start of the war in October 2023. Israel says 150 trucks carrying food, infant formula, medical supplies and medicine entered northern Gaza over the two previous days. U.N. Humanitarian agency says the needs of people in Gaza are far from being met. Human rights groups say the foundation’s approach undermines the core humanitarian principles of humanity.
