Key Points

This bill, introduced by Representative Waters, would require the U.S. government to make sure people in Gaza are getting enough to eat. The goal is for every child to have three healthy meals a day and for every adult to have at least two.
The Secretary of State would have 30 days to prove that there is a solid plan to track and deliver this food. This plan must be made by working with international groups like the World Food Program and the United Nations, as well as the government of Israel.
The government would have to release a public report showing exactly how much food is being sent, who is paying for it, and how many people are being fed. This is meant to make the process more transparent for everyone.
If any food aid is blocked from entering Gaza or is stolen or used the wrong way, the State Department must tell Congress immediately. They would have to explain what happened and what they are doing to fix it.
