President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing hunger crisis in Gaza on Monday in Scotland, where he addressed the urgency of getting food into the enclave immediately, while doing it safely and securely. 

“The United States recently, just a couple of weeks ago, we gave $60 million … No other nation gave money,” as he urged other nations “to step up.” 

$30 million in U.S. contributions to Gaza have been channeled through the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. 

Since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began its operations on May 27, the organization has partnered with local Palestinian aid workers and non-governmental organizations to deliver 97 million meals to date to Gazans.

As GHF continues to assist Gazans, Fay says the organization has “adapt[ed] in a dynamic environment, and our distributions seem to be going more smoothly every day.” 

New adaptations include a red-light, green-light system to indicate whether distribution sites are open and a suggestion from aid-seekers. GHF has also added more shelf-stable onions to its aid boxes.

Fay said that workers are also holding back some aid to ensure that women and children receive needed assistance. Because of this change, Fay says he recently “saw women leaving and smiling at our personnel with their onions on their way home.”

GHF is set to deliver its 100 millionth meal to Gazans later this week.
