The Israeli military has warned Gaza residents not to travel to areas leading to aid distribution centers, after at least 27 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for food at points set up by the US-backed foundation.
An Israeli military spokesman said on Tuesday that roads leading to distribution centers set up by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) were considered "combat zones."
In a social media post, GHF announced that its distribution points would be closed on Wednesday for “updating, organizing and improving efficiency work.” The group did not provide further details on the improvements it intended to make. Operations would resume on Thursday, the group claimed, according to A2 CNN.
The organization said it was in discussions with the Israeli military to strengthen security measures beyond the immediate perimeter of the GHF sites.
Gaza's Health Ministry said 27 people were killed early Tuesday as they gathered to receive food at one of the GHF food distribution centers. It was the third such incident in three days, with Israel admitting Tuesday for the first time that its forces fired on Palestinians moving toward them.
