The group supported by the US and Israeli -supported group in Gaza in Gaza says that all distribution sites are closed until further notice and encourage residents to stay away from the facilities “for their safety” after a series of fatal shootings.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which started handing out meals to hungry Palestinians last week in the Gaza Strip, a reopening date, would be announced later.
The organization had reopened two of its locations in the south of Gaza on Thursday, after having closed all four the previous day in the aftermath of nearby shootings.

GHF bypasses traditional aid organizations and is criticized by humanitarian organizations, including the United Nations, because of its alleged lack of neutrality, that it denies.
In his first site -closing on Wednesday, the group said it was pressing on the Israeli army to improve civil security outside the circumference of its activities, after dozens of Palestinians had been shot for three consecutive days near the Rafah Aid Distribution site.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday and Monday said that his soldiers had fired only warning shots, while on Tuesday it said that Israeli soldiers also shots on a number of Palestinians that were said to have fallen to his troops.
Palestinian authorities and eyewitnesses said that Israeli troops had shot the crowd in the crowd on Sunday, claims supported by A CNN analysis of images of the incident.
GHF said that the help without incidents had been distributed safely from his sites – but it would only comment on what had taken place within the circumference of his facilities, what everything stated that the responsibility of the IDF took place outside that perimeter.
A video of armed armed men who fell on burgers released by the IDF implied that Hamas was behind the shooting on Sunday, but ABC News determined that the images were included in the Al-Wafiye district in southern Khan Younis, about 8 kilometers away from Rafah.
Israel has steadily performed his offensive against the Gaza-based Hamas Militant Group since the end of a cease-fire in March, and until last month had access to the besieged territory, which put the United Nations to warn Palestinian children that Palestinian children were at risk of mass hunger.
More than 50,000 Palestinians have died in the war so far, with international experts estimate around 80 percent of those victims to be civilians.
The war was inspired by Hamas’s terror attack of 7 October 2023 in South Israel, in which nearly 1200 Israelis and aliens were killed and another 251 hostage in the Gaza Strip.
