Israel has agreed to resume aid to Gaza, but only through the US-formed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to a statement from the organisation, the Middle East Eye reports.

The effort would bypass the decades-old infrastructure put in place by the United Nations and its agencies, despite protests by the international body and several world leaders.

“The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) today announced that it will launch operations in the Gaza Strip before the end of the month. This follows discussions with Israeli officials to allow the flow of transitional aid into Gaza under existing mechanisms while construction of GHF’s Secure Distribution Sites (SDS) is completed,” the statement read.

The first 90 days of GHF’s services are expected to provide 300 million meals, the organisation said.
