A major international fund set up to support humanitarian relief and rebuilding efforts in Gaza is reportedly running short of money despite billions of dollars being publicly pledged by governments and global organisations.
According to reports, only a small portion of the promised funds has actually been transferred, leaving relief agencies struggling to continue emergency operations in the war-hit region. The shortage has delayed several humanitarian and reconstruction projects at a time when Gaza faces severe shortages of food, medicine, fuel and shelter.
The issue gained further attention after reports claimed that donations linked to US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” initiative were routed through a JPMorgan account that reportedly lacked normal transparency requirements. Critics and aid observers have raised concerns over accountability and clarity regarding how the pledged funds are being managed and distributed.
Sources familiar with the matter said many international commitments announced during diplomatic meetings and fundraising discussions have yet to convert into direct financial support on the ground. Aid officials warned that hospitals, food centres and emergency shelters are already operating under extreme pressure.
Humanitarian agencies working in Gaza said the worsening financial situation could seriously affect relief operations in the coming weeks if funds are not released quickly. Millions of civilians continue to depend on international aid after months of conflict and destruction across the territory.
The funding gap has also sparked wider debate about the difference between public political promises and actual delivery of humanitarian assistance during global crises. Aid groups said rebuilding efforts cannot move forward without stable and transparent funding mechanisms.
