Financial Backing from the U.S. Follows GHF’s Successful Delivery of More than 46 Million Meals in One Month of Operations
June 26, 2025 – The State Department today announced $30 million in funding to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). In making the announcement, U.S. Department of State Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Piggot called on other countries to join the U.S. in supporting the GHF and its critical work to feed the people of Gaza. The announcement comes as GHF successfully delivered more than 46 million meals in only four weeks of operation.
In response to the financial commitment from the U.S. government, GHF Interim Executive Director John Acree said, “This commitment reflects a simple truth: Americans deeply care about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and want to see real action—starting with getting food to those who need it most without interference by Hamas and other militants. We are grateful for the support from President Trump and his administration in getting life-saving aid directly into the hands of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Now is the time for unity and collaboration. We look forward to other aid and humanitarian organizations joining us so we can feed even more Gazans, together.
A transcript of State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Piggot’s remarks are below:
Piggot: So what I can say is we have approved funding for $30 million to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. And we call on other countries to also support the GHF, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and its critical work. A track record of distributing over 46 million meals distributed to date, all while preventing Hamas’ looting is absolutely incredible and should be commended and supported. From day one, we said we are open to creative solutions that securely provide aid to those in Gaza and protects Israel. The support is simply the latest iteration of President Trump’s and Secretary Rubio’s pursuit of peace in the region.
