Jeremy Lewin overrides many objections by staffers reviewing the grant and rushes a grant of $30 million for the month of June to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation only five days after its funding request was submitted. The request was also handled by Kenneth Jackson and accumulated over 58 objections from USAID staffers that GHF failed both technical and financial requirements for aid recipients.
