- The US State Department authorized $30 million to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which provides aid in the conflict-affected Gaza Strip.
- Since the lifting of an 11-week blockade in May, the foundation has distributed over 46 million meals to Gaza residents.
- Concerns about violence near distribution points and the involvement of for-profit US firms did not prevent the GHF from receiving an audit waiver.
- The US encourages other nations to support the GHF, with discussions ongoing about potential monthly grants of $30 million.
This support is simply the latest iteration of President Trump's and Secretary Rubio's pursuit of peace in the region.— State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott told reporters at a regular news briefing.

- A tragic incident occurred off the northern coast of Haiti as a boat caught fire, claiming the lives of at least 40 Haitian migrants, as reported by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on Friday.
- The ongoing security challenges have exacerbated a humanitarian crisis in a country plagued by entrenched poverty and where approximately half of the population suffers from acute hunger.
- According to the IOM, over 86,000 migrants have been forcibly repatriated to Haiti by neighboring countries this year.
- Amid escalating violence, many Haitians have turned to the sea to seek refuge, embarking on perilous journeys on unstable boats or other makeshift vessels ill-suited for such voyages.
