US EditionHead of Controversial New Gaza Aid Group Says He Won’t Be Part of Displacing Palestinians, Urges UN to Participate in Plan | News Channel 3-12
- Jake Wood, leader of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, stated that Israel has permitted limited food shipments into Gaza ahead of a new aid distribution system set to begin later in May 2025.
- Israel and the US developed the tightly controlled mechanism to prevent Hamas from stealing aid, while major UN aid organizations refuse participation, citing no evidence of diversion and warning of risks to Palestinians.
- The foundation plans to distribute 300 million meals over 90 days via four sites—three in southern Gaza and two in the north—with security by American contractor UG Solutions, but the bulk of Gaza’s population is in central and northern areas.
- Wood acknowledged that while the plan is imperfect, it aims to provide food to people by the end of the month, despite no aid having been permitted into Gaza for more than two months, underscoring the urgent conditions there.
- Wood emphasized that without involvement from UN agencies, it remains uncertain if the foundation can provide sufficient aid to sustain Gaza’s 2.1 million residents, and he called on UN organizations to join efforts to meet the urgent humanitarian needs effectively.
