Gaza's Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) temporarily closed all aid distribution sites Friday due to overcrowding concerns, later clarifying that aid distribution had been peaceful. GHF distributed 471,240 meals Friday, totaling nearly 9 million meals since operations began. The IDF announced 'free movement' to distribution sites between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., warning of a closed military zone outside those hours. GHF previously halted distributions due to shootings near its sites, resulting in Palestinian casualties. The organization is working to ensure safe aid delivery despite ongoing challenges.
