Two, actually, one on Afghanistan and then a follow-up on Gaza.
00:03
Yesterday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the temporary protected status for Afghanistan
00:09
would expire on May the 20th.
00:12
She said the conditions in Afghanistan have improved enough for Afghans to return there.
00:17
Does the State Department think that Afghanistan is now a safe destination for women and girls?
00:23
Well, ultimately, when it comes to the temporary protected status, I refer you to DHS.
00:27
It was always meant as a temporary measure or temporary benefit.
00:31
This is when that temporary benefit would expire.
00:35
So for further questions on that, I refer you to DHS.
00:38
And then just to follow up on Gaza, you said you support efforts to get aid quickly into Gaza.
00:43
Here we are more than two months later.
00:45
How soon is quickly?
00:47
When can we start to see food actually getting in?
00:49
Well, look, I think it's important to understand, again, that we're looking for those creative solutions to get that aid in there.
00:54
We're fully supportive of those measures.
00:56
And it's also important to reiterate that Hamas bears sole responsibility for this conflict,
01:01
as well as sole responsibility for the condition under which the people of Gaza are living.
01:05
So I'm not going to put a timeline on it from here.
01:07
I'm not going to speak on behalf of the Foundation.
01:09
But what I will reiterate is that we are supportive of creative solutions to get aid in there,
01:13
but also in a way that the aid is not falling into the hands of Hamas,
01:17
that it actually reaches the people that need it.
01:19
Is that being addressed?
01:37
I'll look at the film on it.
