U.S. presses for mechanisms that deliver Gaza aid without diversion; cites Gaza Humanitarian Foundation example
Loading...
Summary
The State Department emphasized the U.S. priority of getting humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza without diversion to Hamas, referenced the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s (GHF) reported delivery record and said the administration is exploring 'creative solutions' and mechanisms that prevent looting and diversion.
The State Department reiterated that its priority is delivering humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza while preventing diversion of aid to Hamas, and said the administration supports mechanisms that have shown results.
That focus is central to U.S. policy options for delivering aid during the Gaza conflict and informs which partners and delivery methods the United States will consider.
State Department spokesperson said, “we wanna see as much aid as possible go to the people of Gaza without it being looted by Hamas,” and described a preference for “creative solutions” that limit diversion. The spokesperson pointed to a mechanism the administration supports, noting that it “has been able to deliver a 110,000,000 meals without it being looted by Hamas.”
When asked about reports that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation secured a meeting with U.N. officials, the spokesperson referred reporters to the foundation for the specifics of its meetings, but again emphasized the administration’s interest in mechanisms that deliver aid while preventing diversion.
The briefing repeatedly distinguished support for delivery mechanisms from endorsement of any particular political settlement or military plan. The spokesperson said the U.S. aims remain threefold: get humanitarian aid into Gaza without diversion, secure the release of hostages, and prevent Hamas from continuing to operate as an armed or governing force — statements framed as policy aims rather than new operational directives.
No new bilateral or multilateral program agreements, changes in aid flows beyond previously announced amounts, or U.N. arrangements were announced at the briefing. Officials said multiple options remain under discussion and that reporting on operational specifics would follow as plans develop.
