This bill directs the U.S. State Department to establish and implement oversight policies to ensure adequate food assistance reaches civilians in Gaza, with the goal of providing at least three meals daily for children and two meals daily for other civilians. Within 30 days of the bill's enactment, the Secretary of State must certify to Congress that these oversight systems are in place and have been developed in coordination with international organizations, donors, Israel, and Palestinian representatives. The bill also requires the State Department to submit a detailed public report describing the amount of food being distributed, how many people are being served, which donors are providing assistance, and distribution methods. Additionally, the Secretary of State must promptly notify Congress whenever food assistance intended for Gaza is blocked from entering, diverted, or misused, including details about the incident and the department's response. The legislation does not specify funding amounts but establishes accountability measures for monitoring humanitarian food aid to Gaza's civilian population.
