The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation suspended its food distribution in Gaza after a series of shootings left dozens of Palestinians dead near its sites. Discussions with the Israeli Defense Forces aim to improve safety protocols. Following an admission of fire near a GHF site, the IDF claimed it targeted suspects. Despite casualties, the US and Israel advocate for a new aid system to prevent Hamas from exploiting humanitarian supplies, a plan the UN rejects for violating aid distribution principles.
The pause in aid comes after Israeli forces acknowledged opening fire near a GHF aid distribution site in Rafah, a southern Gazan city now largely empty and declared a military zone.
The UN has repeatedly denied that Hamas has systematically diverted the aid on a significant scale. It said safeguards are in place to prevent misuse.
