One of the auxiliary centers in Gaza should open again – Diepresse.com
Because of the « big rush », the Gaza Humanitrian Foundation closed its distribution centers on Friday. On Saturday, Hamas threats made the opening impossible.
The controversial Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) again opens one of its distribution centers for humanitarian aid in the center of Gazas. The foundation announced on its Arab Facebook page early Saturday morning. Before that it was said that two centers in Rafah were opened in the south from noon. The previous day, the GHF auxiliary centers were still closed due to « direct threats » of the Islamist Hamas.
Because of the « big rush », the GHF announced the preliminary closure of its distribution centers in Gaza on Friday. Hamas threats would also have made an opening impossible the following day, « without endangering life more innocent ». Around two weeks ago, Israel had relaxed the blockade of the aid deliveries in the Gaza Strip. The distribution of relief goods was taken over by the GHF.
The organization circumvents aid organizations of the UN and other initiatives. She was accused of endangering civilians and violating neutral help. According to its own statements, Israel wants to prevent Hamas from acquiring aid deliveries. (APA/dpa)
