Gaza group suspends aid distribution due to ‘civil disorder’

ANKARA

A private organization backed by Israel and the US said Wednesday that its aid distribution in Gaza remains suspended, citing “civil disorder.”

The Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) said in a statement cited by Israel’s public broadcaster KAN that the operation had been suspended temporarily due to “civil disorder.”

GHF said it is taking measures to "provide security" before resuming its aid distribution in Gaza, without giving an exact date.

On Tuesday, American workers affiliated with the GHF were evacuated from the southern city of Rafah after thousands of Palestinians rushed into its aid distribution facility.
