Food for Palestinian Children and Families in Gaza Act of 2026

This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of State to certify within 30 days of enactment that sufficient food assistance is being provided to Gaza civilians, ensuring all children receive at least three nutritious meals daily and all other civilians receive at least two. It mandates detailed reporting to Congress on food distribution amounts, beneficiaries, donors, and distribution methods, along with coordination protocols with UN agencies, other donors, and the Government of Israel. The bill also requires immediate notification to Congress if food aid is denied entry, diverted, or misused in Gaza, including specific details about the incident and response. The policy directly affects Palestinian civilians in Gaza by setting concrete nutritional standards for aid delivery, while the U.S. government (through the State Department) is the primary entity responsible for implementation and reporting.
