At least 20 killed in a crush on US -backed GHF Help Site

At least 20 people were killed in a crush at the South Gaza aid center, managed by US and Israel Gaza Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the organization and local hospital claim.

GHF said 19 were trapped to death and one was stabbed “against the backdrop of a chaotic and dangerous jump” in its place in the area of Khan Einnis. He added that he believed that people were “armed and homaged associated with excitement”.

But Hamas -run Gaza Gaza’s Government Service denied the claim and accused GHF of trying to “conceal” a crime.

Nasser Hospital in Khan Einnis said she received the bodies of 21 people who died from suffocation as a result of inhalation of tear gas and crushing at the site of rescue.

For the first time, GHF confirmed the death of one of its help.

The government media cabinet has accused US private security contractors who spread help with GHF for causing crushing by closing the gates on the site after thousands of people gathered in narrow channels to collect food, then shooting tear gas and live circles to them.

In a graphic video shared on social media and checked by the BBC, a witness standing on a stroller filled with the bodies of six boys and men at Nasser Hospital said they were crushed between fences created on the GHF website while waiting for food.

“They are children. What is their guilt who dies for help?” The man shouts as he holds the body of one of the boys.

“What happened is (this) on the door of help (place), foreigners made a fence here and a fence here,” he said. “The boys went to the front and the people came and stepped on them.”

There are almost daily messages about the murder of Palestinians while looking for help, as GHF started operations in late May. Witnesses say most were shot by Israeli forces.

The UN Human Rights Service said on Tuesday that it has so far recorded 674 murders near the four GHF sites in southern and central gas over the last six weeks. Another 201 murders were recorded on the UN and other convoys for help, he added.

Before Wednesday, GHF denied that there were some deadly incidents in the immediate vicinity of its sites and accused the UN of using “fake and misleading” figures from the Gaza Health Ministry.

Israeli military said last week that they admitted that there were incidents where civilians were hurt and that it was working to minimize “possible friction between the population and (Israeli) forces as much as possible.”

GHF uses private security contractors to disseminate help from websites in Israeli military zones.

The UN refuses to cooperate with him, describing his creation as unethical.
