Headline: UNCAPTIONED: 20 Dead in Crowd Surge at Gaza Aid Site, GHF Reports
Caption: 20 Dead in Crowd Surge at Gaza Aid Site, GHF Reports. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) reports that 20 people were killed in a tragic incident at one of its aid distribution centres in southern Gaza. Nineteen of the victims were trampled to death, and one person was stabbed during a chaotic surge at the site in the Khan Younis area. The GHF blamed the surge on agitators in the crowd, allegedly affiliated with Hamas, causing a dangerous situation at the aid site. The report from the GHF has not been independently verified, and no official comment has been made by Hamas or other local authorities. Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis confirmed that over 10 people died due to suffocation after the GHF’s private security contractors closed the aid site. The tragic event highlights the extreme conditions faced by Gaza's residents, many of whom are desperate for aid amidst the ongoing conflict. The GHF’s statement described the incident as a "tragic event" and emphasized the need for greater safety measures at aid distribution centres. The closure of the aid site by security contractors is said to have exacerbated the chaos, preventing access to vital supplies for many residents in need. As the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen in Gaza, aid groups are calling for enhanced measures to ensure the safety of civilians at aid sites.
