A group backed by the U.S. and Israel resumes aid distribution in Gaza. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said on June 5 it was reopening two sites a day after shutting them following a series of deadly shootings near its operations. The GHF halted distributions on June 4 and said it was pressing Israeli forces to improve civilian safety beyond the perimeter of its operations after dozens of Palestinians were shot dead near the Rafah site this week. The GHF, which has been fiercely criticized by humanitarian organizations including the United Nations for alleged lack of neutrality, began distributing aid last week.
