The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it distributed 8,160 boxes of food at two of its Rafah sites today before it closed them due to overcrowding.

GHF says each box has enough food inside to feed 5.5 people for 3.5 days.

It says it has distributed nearly 9 million meals since it launched operations on May 26. But, the boxes are filled largely with dry food products that to prepare still require fuel, cooking equipment, or community kitchens, which are in low supply throughout the war-ravaged Strip.
