 "US approves $30 million aid package for Gaza Humanitarian Foundation")
The US State Department has approved $30 million in funding for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the State Department said on Thursday, calling on other countries to also support the group delivering aid in war-torn Gaza.
“This support is simply the latest iteration of President Trump’s and Secretary Rubio’s pursuit of peace in the region,” State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott told reporters.
Reuters reported earlier this week the United States was giving $30 million to the controversial humanitarian group.
Washington has long backed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation diplomatically, but this is the first known US government financial contribution to the organiszation, which uses private US military and logistics firms to transport aid into the Palestinian enclave for distribution at so-called secure sites.
A document reviewed by Reuters showed that the $30 million US Agency for International Development grant to GHF was authorised on Friday under a “priority directive” from the White House and State Department.
The document showed an initial $7 million disbursement had been made.
The United States could approve additional monthly grants of $30 million for the GHF, said two of the sources, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity.
