Overview

• Israel's security cabinet has ratified a new aid distribution system for Gaza, limiting humanitarian aid entry to 60 trucks per day—just 10% of pre-blockade levels.
• The plan mandates Gazans relocate to southern Khan Yunis, where aid will be distributed under military oversight and monitored by private U.S. security contractors.
• Biometric and facial recognition tools will be used to vet aid recipients, raising concerns about privacy, access, and potential misuse of data.
• UN agencies and international NGOs have refused to participate, citing violations of neutrality, independence, and safety, while calling for the blockade to be lifted.
• The U.S. administration is lobbying for international support of the plan, as construction of distribution hubs in southern Gaza has already begun.
