USAID was supposed to fund much of the aid to Gaza as the ceasefire progressed.

But since then, there have been no confirmed payments to any partners in the Middle East .

Some organizations have already reported laying off workers and scaling down operations.

The cutbacks threaten to halt the small gains aid workers have made combatting Gaza ’s humanitarian crisis.

USAID was never able to purchase the mobile homes because of newly-imposed policies requiring extra approvals for procurements.

Israel has cut off all aid shipments into Gaza in a bid to pressure Hamas to accept an extension of the ceasefire.

With USAID in flux, the U.S. risks losing its influence, a former USAID official says.
