Food for Palestinian Children and Families in Gaza Act of 2026

Oversight for Gaza food aid

If enacted, the Secretary of State would have to certify to Congress within 30 days after enactment that the Department has set and is using oversight policies to ensure sufficient food aid for Gaza civilians. The certification would state that all children in Gaza can eat at least three nutritious meals each day and other civilians can eat at least two nutritious meals each day. The Secretary would send, with the certification, a written description of those oversight policies and how the Government of Israel and groups like the World Food Program, UNRWA, other UN agencies, donors, and NGOs are involved. Within 30 days after the certification, the Secretary would give Congress and the public a report on how much food aid is being distributed, how many children and adults are served, which donors provided aid, and how it is distributed. The Secretary would also promptly notify Congress anytime aid for these purposes is denied entrance, diverted, or misused and would include the type of aid, the donor, a description of the incident, and the Department's response, as appropriate.
