After pausing its activities for a day on orders from the IDF, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation opens three of its distribution sites in southern Gaza.
The GHF says it delivered 36,000 boxes today, totaling over 2.1 million meals. As is usually the case, the majority of meals were distributed at the site near the coast in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood, in southern Gaza.
According to GHF, which employs inconsistent math in daily statements about its distribution efforts, each box contains nearly 58 meals, which it says is enough to feed 5.5 people for 3.5 days.
There were no reports of violence at the sites.
“Our team was pleased to return to normal delivery operations today to provide emergency food for the Palestinian people in Gaza,” says GHF interim executive John Acree in a statement.
“Since we stood down operations due to security concerns yesterday, we were able to repair our distribution site in Khan Younis and continue operations there and at our other sites today. We continue to do all we can in Gaza to conduct operations at all four sites to help all beneficiaries receive food aid safely.”
