Twenty people trying to get food have been killed "amid a chaotic and dangerous surge" at an aid distribution centre in southern Gaza, the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says.
Nineteen people were trampled to death and one was stabbed in the "tragic incident" at the GHF’s site in the Khan Younis area, a statement said, adding that it believed the surge was "driven by agitators in the crowd" who were affiliated to Hamas.
It was not immediately possible to verify this. report. However, Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis earlier said it had received the bodies of 10 people who were killed due to "suffocation” after an aid site was closed by the GHF’s US private security contractors.
