The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) recently faced challenges as fatal incidents occurred near aid distribution centers, prompting the organization to temporarily halt operations for safety reasons. The GHF, supported by Israel and the U.S., closed some centers for updates and efficiency improvements. Following multiple deadly incidents where Palestinians were killed at aid hubs, questions arose about the safety of delivering humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

The closures came after reports of Israeli soldiers opening fire near aid centers, resulting in casualties. Despite the GHF reopening some aid centers, the situation remained tense, leading to further closures and warnings for people to stay away from the sites. The United Nations and other organizations condemned the incidents and called for investigations to hold those responsible accountable.

The GHF, designated as the sole distributor of aid in Gaza, faced criticism and setbacks since its inception, including the resignation of its lead due to concerns about humanitarian principles. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation.

Local residents described the challenges they face in accessing aid, with some expressing fear and reluctance to visit aid centers due to safety concerns. Rising food prices and scarcity have added to the hardships faced by civilians, with the festive spirit of Eid Al Adha dimmed by the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
