Dozens reportedly killed near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation hub in 3rd consecutive day of violence
At least 27 Palestinians were fatally shot and 161 others wounded on Tuesday as they tried to reach a food distribution center in Gaza run by a controversial U.S.-backed group, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health. It was the third day of deadly violence reported near a humanitarian hub run by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a private organization accused by the United Nations of weaponizing aid.
"We were shocked by the numbers of injuries. A horrific number," one ambulance driver said as the wounded were rushed to the Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. "All the injuries were directly to the head and chest. Many of them young people who went to get aid from the American foundation."
Little information has been made public about GHF's operations. CBS News has been told by one source that it has employed at least 300 American contractors, all heavily armed, who have been given "as much ammunition as they can carry."
