The Journal podcast discusses the ongoing crisis in Gaza, focusing on the controversial new aid distribution plan backed by Israel and the U.S. The plan, implemented by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and secured by Safe Reach Solutions (SRS), aims to deliver food to Palestinians but has been plagued by violence, chaos, and disorder. The UN's previous aid distribution system, which involved hundreds of sites, was replaced by GHF's four centers, leading to desperate Gazans facing starvation and struggling to access aid. Incidents of Israeli military firing warning shots at crowds approaching distribution centers have resulted in numerous casualties, raising concerns about the safety and effectiveness of the new system, with operations temporarily paused for reorganization.
