According to the report, the US foreign office is considering millennia for controversial Gaza Foundation-Diepresse.com

Palestinian information has again been given once again in the case of attacks in Israel in the Gaza Strip. At least 22 people have been killed in the coastal area since the night of Saturday, it was said from medical circles. Dozens of people were injured. The information could initially not be checked independently. However, the United States is considering payment of $ 500 million (EUR 438.17 million) to the controversial aid organization GHF.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported dead in the areas around Khan Younis and Rafah in the south of the competitive area and in the city of Gaza. There was initially no information from the Israeli army.

Israel has been fighting against Hamas in the Gaza Strip since the massacre of October 7, 2023. Three weeks ago, the army started a new major offensive in the coastal area. Many deaths are reported every day. The declared goal of Israel is to completely smash the Hamas and to get the hostages that are still held. There is international criticism of Israel’s approach.

Report on alleged auxiliary increases

The US State Department is considering payment of $ 500 million to the controversial aid organization Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF). This reports two people familiar with the matter and two former government officials who do not want to be named. According to the information, the money is to be provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USA), which is largely dissolved by the Trump government.

The private US Foundation GHF had started the hungry population in the Gaza Strip last week with the distribution of urgently needed aid goods. So far, it operates four distribution centers. Humanitarian organizations, including those of the United Nations, have accused the GHF a lack of neutrality. The foundation denies this. Several high -ranking employees have left GHF since the beginning of their mission. This week she had to interrupt the distribution of relief goods twice because thousands of starving people overrun her distribution centers.

Financing of GHF so far unclear

The US State Department and the GHF have not yet responded to Reuters’ inquiries after a statement. Reuters could not find out who is currently financing the ongoing GHF operations. The governments of the United States and Israel have not yet fined the organization. The foundation uses private US security and logistics companies to transport and distribute relief supplies to Gaza.

A person familiar with the matter and a former high-ranking civil servant said that deputy USAID administrator Ken Jackson supports the proposal to give the $ 500 million to the GHF. Jackson was instrumental in the destruction of the development authority. Israel had applied for the funds to finance the work of the Gaza Humanitrian Foundation for 180 days. (APA/Reuters/dpa)
