The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a newly established U.S.- and Israeli-supported organization, has launched operations to deliver critical food and supplies to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, starting in late May 2025. Operating four Secure Distribution Sites in southern and central Gaza, GHF aims to provide essentials like flour, pasta, beans, tea, and hygiene kits to approximately 300,000 people per hub, replacing the United Nations’ aid system.

A Palestinian collecting aid at a GHF site expressed gratitude, stating, “Trump feeds us, while Hamas starves us. God bless the Americans, they’re giving us flour and food.” Nearly 1,000 aid trucks have entered Gaza in recent weeks, a step toward addressing the region’s dire needs, though some recipients note the food packages, containing 4kg of essentials, are insufficient for long-term sustenance. The Trump administration has emphasized that GHF ensures aid reaches civilians while preventing diversion to Hamas.

The initiative, backed by U.S. funding and coordination with Israel, is part of a broader effort to stabilize Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, where 2.1 million people face severe hunger. GHF’s secure hubs aim to streamline distribution, incorporating biometric checks to verify recipients. Despite challenges, the program signals a renewed U.S. commitment to supporting Palestinians in need.

Gazans shocked there’s no charge for aid boxes.

Hamas isn’t happy and is persecuting locals

However, the GHF began food distribution on May 26 at a Rafah hub but quickly encountered setbacks. On May 27, thousands of desperate Palestinians, including women and children, overwhelmed the site, leading to a loss of control, with reports of one death and 47 injuries at a Tal al-Sultan hub on May 28, though GHF denied injuries.

The resignation of executive director Jake Wood on May 25, citing violations of humanitarian principles due to Israel’s control and the use of facial recognition technology, further disrupted operations. Criticized by the UN and aid groups as politicized and ineffective, the GHF’s initial efforts fell short of its goal to feed 1.2 million Gazans, highlighting logistical and ethical challenges.

Proposed Ceasefire

The United States has proposed a new 60-day ceasefire plan aimed at halting the ongoing war in Gaza, according to a draft of the proposal seen by Reuters and confirmed by multiple sources. The plan includes the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and the immediate delivery of more humanitarian aid into the shut off enclave – once Hamas agrees to the deal.

Under the proposed plan, Hamas would release 28 Israeli hostages—both alive and deceased—within the first week, while Israel would free 125 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life and hand over the remains of 180 Palestinians. The plan is backed by US President Donald Trump and mediators Egypt and Qatar.

A permanent ceasefire, as per the plan, would trigger the release of the remaining 30 hostages held by Hamas. All eyes are now on Hamas were cool to the proposal from the US envoy, Steve Witkoff.
