Twenty killed in ‘crowd surge’ at Gaza aid site, GHF aid group says | BBC News

Twenty people trying to get food have been killed amid a chaotic and dangerous surge at an aid distribution centre in southern Gaza, according to the US‑ and Israel‑backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Nineteen 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 affiliated to Hamas. It was not immediately possible to verify this. However, Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis earlier said it had received the bodies of ten people who were killed due to suffocation after an aid site was closed by the GHF's US private security contractors.
