The United States and Israel have launched the Gaza aid plan 2025. This plan will initially serve only 60% of Gaza’s population. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee introduced the initiative. He elaborated the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a new private organization, will handle an aid distribution. The foundation will deliver food, hygiene kits, and medical supplies through four secure sites. Private US contractors will guard the sites, while Israeli forces will secure the surrounding areas.
Huckabee admitted the Gaza aid plan 2025 is incomplete. He also acknowledged its limited initial reach. However, he promised the foundation would expand operations over time. Mike believed the main goal is to stop Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad from seizing aid. The US and Israel claim these groups often intercept supplies. But aid groups argue that most aid reaches civilians directly.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening. Israel’s full blockade, which began in March 2025, has severely limited access to basic needs. The UN and key aid organizations have rejected the US-Israeli plan, citing a drastic reduction in aid sites—from 400 to just four. Critics warn the plan poses serious security risks and violates humanitarian standards. It could also force displaced people to travel long distances for essential supplies.
UNRWA reports severe shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies. Vulnerable groups, especially women, children, and the older, are suffering the most. Hamas and local NGOs have criticized the plan. They accuse the US and Israel of using aid to control and displace Palestinians.
Despite the criticism, Huckabee urged global partners to support the effort. Some humanitarian leaders have joined the foundation. These include former heads of Team Rubicon and World Central Kitchen. But many leadership roles are still unfilled. Officials expect the plan to start in a few weeks and expand gradually.
