Can new US and Israeli-backed aid foundation in Gaza work?

Can new US and Israeli-backed aid foundation in Gaza work?

Following its chaotic and deadly delivery, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has received criticism from the UN and aid organizations.

Israel has been putting a complete blockade on Gaza for almost three months.

2.3 million people are now starving, because aid organizations are unable to deliver the most basic items.

Israel and the US are currently supporting the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which delivers food packages. The first attempt sputtered into chaos.

The UN and other aid organizations have also been harsh critics of the foundation. They claim that it violates humanitarian law and appears to be “weaponizing” aid.

Why, then, has Israel chosen to grant some aid but only under the authority it supports?
