The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.-backed organization providing vital food assistance in Gaza, has announced a temporary halt to its distribution operations. This decision comes after several days of escalating violence and unrest near its distribution centers. The foundation stated that the safety of its staff and the people receiving aid is its top priority.
"We are deeply concerned about the recent incidents of violence and their impact on our ability to deliver aid safely and effectively," a spokesperson for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said in a statement. "We are taking this pause to review and strengthen our security protocols to ensure we can resume operations as soon as possible."
The suspension of food distribution is expected to have a significant impact on the already vulnerable population in Gaza, many of whom rely on humanitarian assistance for their basic needs. The foundation is working to coordinate with local authorities and other aid organizations to minimize the disruption and resume operations when it is safe to do so. Further updates will be provided as the situation evolves.
