The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it distributed over 25,000 boxes of food at three sites on Friday, two in southern Gaza and one in the central Strip.
GHF says its boxes contain enough food for 5.5 people for 3.5 days, but the contents are dry food products that require preparation elsewhere in war-ravaged Gaza, where community kitchens and cooking supplies are limited.
The aid distributed by GHF amounts to 30 trucks, well below the hundreds that aid groups say are needed daily to properly address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The US- and Israeli-backed initiative says it also brought in a truckload of potatoes for the first time as a pilot.
GHF says that it will not be affected by Israeli restrictions on aid as Jerusalem investigates whether looting is taking place. Yesterday, UN staff were barred from picking up aid from a north Gaza crossing after footage emerged of armed gunmen on top of an aid convoy.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
