Humanitarian aid distribution sites in the Gaza Strip will not open tomorrow, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the US- and Israel-backed body in charge of the aid distribution, announces.

According to GHF, the aid sites will be closed for a day to carry out logistics work to accommodate larger crowds that have been arriving in recent days, as well as for the Israel Defense Forces to prepare the access routes.

GHF says it will resume activities on Thursday.

The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee republishes the announcement, warning Palestinians that travel on roads leading to the aid sites is prohibited, as they are considered combat zones.
