April 25 (UPI) -- The Biden administration replaced the coordinator for humanitarian aid to Gaza on Thursday, naming Lise Grande to take over for former ambassador David Satterfield.
Grande had been serving as the CEO and president of the U.S. Institute of Peace and a longtime United Nations diplomat. She will hold the position of special envoy for Middle East humanitarian issues. The White House created the post shortly after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, leading to the current war.
