The Israel Defense Army says that the roads to the relief centers in Gaza are “combat areas” as close sites for today

The relief distribution centers in Gaza will be closed on Wednesday, as the Israeli military roads that lead to the sites will be considered “combat areas”.

The Gaza Humanitarian Corporation (GHF), an American assistant network supported by Israel, which started work last week, said it was closing its sites for “modernization, organization and efficiency, improvements.”

In a separate update, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that people would “prevent” from entering the distribution centers or traveling on the roads leading to them.

Overnight on Tuesday, At least 27 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire Near the distribution center, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Agency.

It was the third murderous accident On many days that happen on a road to GHF.

The Israeli Defense Army said that its forces fired footage after identifying the suspects who moved towards them “deviating from the specific access methods.”

In the aftermath of the Tuesday, the director of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, Atf Al -Haoot, said that the injured were suffering from fire injuries after the Israeli forces opened fire on “civilians pending assistance in Western Rafa.”

Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for the Hamas Civil Defense Agency, said that civilians opened fire on tanks, drones and helicopters near the help site.

A foreign doctor working in the area described the scene as a “complete massacre” and said that it is mired in losses.

In a statement, the Israeli Defense Army said its forces “do not prevent the arrival of civilians of Ghazan to the humanitarian aid distribution sites.”

GHF said it would start distributing aid again on Thursday.

A spokesman for the relief group said it had asked the Israeli army to “direct traffic” near the military border to reduce the dangers of “confusion or escalation”, according to Reuters.

GHF added that she was also working on developing clearer guidance for civilians and enhancing training to support their safety.

“Our maximum priority is still a guarantee of the safety and dignity of civilians who receive aid.”

United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres called for an “immediate and independent” investigation into the events.

Stéphane Dujarric, a GUTERRES spokesman, told the BBC that closing aid centers showed “the lack of clarity of the GHF” and “non -accountability”.

“We see armed men around these distribution points. No one knows who they are, and who are the officials,” he said.

It comes at a time when the United Nations warns of more than two million people Attention to the risk of hunger In Gaza, after an Israeli Israeli ban on food shipments and other 11 weeks of aid.

GHF aims to replace the UN-RID aid distribution network in Gaza, after repeated demands from Israel that the United Nations has not prevented the supplies that are kidnapped by Hamas, which is denied by the United Nations.

Under the new distribution system, Ghazan must collect supplies from a small number of centers in the areas under Israeli military control and operate the armed American contractors.

Critics say the model is to let people need to walk for long distances and transport boxes that weigh 20 kg to their homes or shelters.

Dujarric Ghf described as “evidence of how humanitarian aid is not provided” because it “endangers people’s lives” by forcing them to do long trips to get food in a military area.

He described the strategy as “unacceptable” and chaired the head of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNRWA), Philip Lazarini, who said that the distribution of aid “has become the trap of death.”

The United Nations and other humanitarian organizations accused GHF of failing to support humanitarian principles.

Also on Tuesday, Reverend Dr. Johnny Moore – a Christian sponsor and prominent supporter of US President Donald Trump – was announced as a new head of GHF.

He was appointed to replace the first President Jake Wood, a The former US naval infantry that stood up and criticized the GHF model.

At least 54,470 people have been killed in Gaza since then, including 4,201 since Israel resumed its attack on March 18, according to the Ministry of Health in the region.
