To help achieve that, the US has partnered with a little-known private firm, Fogbow, which is run by former military and intelligence officials.

But a person familiar with the plan told the BBC that the Fogbow operation - known internally as Blue Beach Plan - is primarily to organise the movement of aid after it arrives on the Gaza shore.

The BBC has been told that Fogbow is still looking for funding and has briefed a range of European and Middle East governments on the plans.

In the longer term, Fogbow plans to set up a donor-run foundation to help funnel aid into Gaza.

Fogbow is expected to have only limited logistics roles and will not be involved in distribution.
