At least 21 Palestinians killed in ‘stampede’ at Gaza aid center
At least 21 Palestinians were killed Wednesday near an aid distribution site in Khan Younis, the Gaza Health Ministry said, blaming tear gas fired by security forces at a crowd gathered for food.
The incident occurred at a facility run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a private organization backed by the United States and Israel but condemned by the United Nations and several human rights groups.
Close to 900 Palestinians have been killed around Gaza aid centers since May
Since late May, at least 875 Palestinians have been killed near aid distribution centers across the Gaza Strip, most of them near sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to the U.N. human rights office (OHCHR).
The U.N. office has accused the foundation of engaging in the “weaponization of food” as malnutrition rates continue to rise in the enclave.
