Al Jazeera
Gaza’s Health Ministry says tear gas was fired on Wednesday at crowds of Palestinians at aid facility in Khan Younis.
At least 21 Palestinians have been killed in the latest carnage at the GHF aid distribution centre in southern Gaza, with most of the victims reported to have died in a stampede.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health has disputed the allegation from the controversial United States- and Israel-backed organisation that armed agitators were responsible for the incident on Wednesday morning at the site in Khan Younis.
In an earlier statement, the GHF had said 19 victims were trampled and another was stabbed “amid a chaotic and dangerous surge”.
Without providing any evidence, it said the stampede had been provoked by “elements within the crowd – armed and affiliated with Hamas”.
The statement also claimed that GHF staff saw multiple weapons in the crowd and that one of its US contractors was threatened with a gun.
