Summary

The Trump administration’s freeze on USAID payments has left aid groups in Gaza struggling to fund operations, jeopardizing the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

Despite approving $383 million in aid on Jan. 31, no funds have been disbursed, forcing NGOs to cut services and lay off staff.

Internal USAID turmoil and new bureaucratic hurdles have further hindered relief efforts.

The crisis has weakened U.S. influence in ceasefire negotiations, as Israel restricts aid to pressure Hamas. Experts warn the ceasefire is at risk due to the funding freeze and aid shortages.
