LONDON: The US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation will “scale up” its sites in Gaza from four to 16, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has said.
In an interview with Fox News, Huckabee said: “The immediate plan is to scale up the number of sites up to 16 and begin to operate them as much as 24 hours a day.”
The GHF was conceived by Israelis, is operated by American contractors on the ground, and receives diplomatic and financial support from the US, The New York Times reported.
It currently operates four aid distribution sites, mostly in southern Gaza.
Huckabee and Steve Witkoff, the US’ special envoy to the Middle East, visited a GHF site in the enclave last week.
