US EditionUS- and Israeli-backed group pauses food delivery in Gaza after deadly shootings
- Aid centers supported by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which receives backing from the United States, announced a temporary shutdown on Wednesday as the Israeli military labeled the access routes to these locations as active conflict areas.
- The closure followed Israeli troops opening fire near a GHF centre on Tuesday, killing at least 27 Palestinians, and the Israeli army warning civilians against traveling on roads to these centres.
- GHF began its operations just a week ago, distributing aid through four centers guarded by armed American personnel; however, the UN and prominent humanitarian organizations have declined to collaborate with it due to concerns about its connections to Israeli military goals.
- UN human rights leader Volker Turk condemned the assaults on civilians as deeply unacceptable and a serious violation of international law, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres criticized the killings near aid distribution points as intolerable.
- The GHF centres are set to reopen on Thursday following a one-day closure for renovations, reorganisation, and efforts to boost efficiency, while the UN Security Council is expected to see the US veto a measure seeking a halt to fighting and expanded humanitarian aid access.
