As Israel's blockade of Gaza continues, the US and Israeli officials are considering a new plan to distribute humanitarian aid, sidelining the United Nations.
The proposal involves a US-backed group, including security contractors and ex-military officers, taking over food and supply distribution in Gaza, using methods similar to those previously designed by Israel.
