Gaza aid group says Hamas threats to staff kept distribution hubs closed on Saturday

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said that it was unable to open its aid distribution centers in the Gaza Strip on Saturday due to threats from Hamas, in the latest disruption to the aid group’s operations as it struggles to get off the ground.

The statement did not provide further information on the terror group’s threats, but a GHF spokesperson said they were directed at the foundation’s drivers and at local Palestinian staff helping operate the distribution sites.

It marked the fourth time in the past week that GHF operations were disrupted, and the second time it kept its centers shuttered altogether, although previous work stoppages were due to overcrowding and mass casualty incidents — allegedly from Israeli fire — rather than due to Hamas threats.

GHF is supported by Trump. Remind me — why did the director of GHF resign a couple weeks ago?
