The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) announced a temporary closure of its aid centers on June 4 for renovations and improvements. This closure follows a tragic incident where at least 27 Palestinians were reported dead near one of the GHF's distribution sites. The Israeli army has declared these areas 'combat zones' and urged civilians to avoid them. Despite criticism of the GHF for bypassing traditional UN aid channels, the organization is trying to enhance safety for civilians while distributing much-needed aid amid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Aid centers run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an agency backed by the United States and Israel, will temporarily close on Wednesday for renovation and efficiency improvement.
This comes a day after at least 27 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured near a GHF food aid distribution site in southern Gaza.
The GHF has faced criticism for bypassing the UN, and its distribution efforts have raised concerns regarding adherence to international humanitarian laws.
The Israeli army confirmed the temporary closure, warning civilians to stay clear of the GHF sites, which are now deemed 'combat zones'.
