President Donald Trump has ordered the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, emphasizing the urgency due to the ongoing hunger crisis, according to U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. The aid operation, set to begin soon, will not involve Israel in the distribution process, but the country will assist with security measures. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation will lead the distribution, supported by private security companies. The plan aims to distribute food safely and efficiently in Gaza, ensuring that the aid does not fall into the hands of Hamas. Huckabee stated that multiple partners have agreed to a mechanism for aid distribution, though specific partners were not named. The initiative is part of a broader effort to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where Israel's blockade since March 2 has severely restricted the entry of essential supplies. Over 3,000 aid trucks are currently stuck outside Gaza, awaiting permission to enter. The Trump administration is also pressuring Israel to reach a ceasefire agreement with Hamas before Trump's upcoming visit to the Middle East. There are concerns that if no agreement is reached, Israel might face isolation. This pressure comes amidst reports that Trump might announce a comprehensive solution to the Gaza issue by the end of the week. Additionally, the U.S. has an agreement with the Houthis, stating that American military action would only be taken if U.S. citizens in Israel are harmed. The humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly, with the World Central Kitchen halting its operations due to a lack of supplies. The blockade has led to widespread hunger, with reports of at least 57 deaths due to starvation, primarily among children. The United Nations and various aid organizations have warned of catastrophic consequences if the blockade continues, highlighting the urgent need for aid to reach the population. UNRWA, a key aid provider, has emphasized the necessity of lifting the blockade to allow the entry of aid.
