“I will be the first to admit it will not be perfect, especially in the early days,” Huckabee said.A new group supported by the U.S., called
, or GHF, has proposed implementing an aid distribution project along the lines of Israel’s demands, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The group is made up of American security contractors, former government officials, ex-military officers and humanitarian officials.In its proposal, GHF said that it would initially set up four distribution sites, guarded by private security firms. Each would serve 300,000 people, covering only about half of Gaza’s population. Huckabee said that the system will be scaled up “as soon as it is possible.”Aryeh Lightstone, a senior member of
team, was involved in briefing U.N. agencies and aid groups about the foundation in Geneva on Thursday, according to one person who attended, Joseph Belliveau, executive director of Medglobal, a medical humanitarian group operating in Gaza. He said that he and other attendees pressed back saying the new model shouldn’t replace the current, independent and neutral system led by the U.N.Belliveau said that aid groups had been working for years “with strict due diligence processes ... in a way that avoids diversion” of aid.
“What we need is to be just allowed (to work). We need that blockade lifted,” he said.
Israel has given no details publicly about the new aid mechanism. The U.N. says that what Israel has outlined to it so far in private discussions violates humanitarian principles.“No tenemos datos científicos sólidos para guiar la toma de decisiones clínicas en estos casos”, indicó la doctora Kavita Arora, obstetra y ginecóloga en Carolina del Norte, quien planteó su preocupación sobre el efecto para el feto del uso prolongado de respiradores. “Simplemente, no hay muchos casos como este”.
El artículo de 2023 advirtió que “los costos no deben subestimarse”.No está claro si Smith, que según su madre era enfermera en el Hospital Universitario de Emory, tenía seguro sanitario. Pero JoAnn Volk, profesora, fundadora y codirectora del Centro de Reformas de Seguros de Salud en la Universidad de Georgetown, dijo que, en el caso de personas con seguro médico, generalmente depende del asegurador determinar si la atención es médicamente necesaria y está cubierta por el plan.
Aunque no está claro cuánto costará mantener a Smith con soporte vital hasta que el feto pueda nacer, o quién debe hacerse cargo de esa factura, la página de GoFundMe de su madre menciona al hijo de siete años de Smith y señala que el bebé podría tener graves discapacidades, por lo que se pretende recaudar 275.000 dólares.Mulvihill informó desde Cherry Hill, Nueva Jersey.
