US 'Troubled' by Gaza Aid Crisis, Open to Alternative Plans, Says Rubio
- On May 15, 2025, the top U.S. Diplomat expressed worry about the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza amid efforts to deliver aid during ongoing conflict.

- The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to deliver nearly 300 million meals within 90 days, but the initiative faces UN and humanitarian group criticism over neutrality concerns.
- Rubio expressed concern about the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza and emphasized support for delivering aid that cannot be intercepted by Hamas, while remaining open to alternative approaches.
- The situation suggests persistent challenges in aid distribution and the broader conflict’s resolution, which Rubio ties to the elimination of Hamas for lasting peace.
