US State Dept. watchdog investigates Gaza aid group over emergency aid spending
The US State Department’s oversight body is investigating the now-defunct Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and its use of millions of dollars in emergency aid funding, the Financial Times reported Wednesday, citing three people familiar with the inquiry.
According to the report, the State Department’s Office of Inspector General is examining a $30 million grant announced last June to the organization, which was backed by the United States and Israel to distribute aid in Gaza.

The inspector general is looking into “what money was spent and how”, including “which bucket it came from, and how it was doled out”, one person familiar with the inquiry told FT.
