By Olivia Le Poidevin GENEVA (Reuters) -Swiss authorities said on Sunday they were exploring whether to open a legal investigation into the activities of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.-backed organisation that plans to oversee aid distribution in the Palestinian enclave.

Fifteen World Food Program trucks carrying aid were looted overnight in Gaza, the U.N. agency said Friday, underscoring the insecurity and desperation more than two months into Israel’s blockade on food,

Israel allowed 100 aid trucks into the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military said, as UN officials reported that no aid had so far reached people in need.

A U.S.-backed organization aims to start work in the Gaza Strip by the end of May, overseeing a new model of aid distribution in the Palestinian enclave, but the United Nations says the plan is not impartial or neutral,

Concerns raised in a confidential planning document appear prescient, with humanitarian groups, possible donors and some senior IDF officers questioning the plan.

After Israel eased its 11-week aid block this week, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says Gaza's entire population is at risk of famine.

Satellite images appear to show the construction of three large aid distribution sites in southern Gaza, amid reports about a controversial new United States-backed plan to bring more humanitarian aid to Gaza.
