Devastating Gaza Aid Hub Stampede ‘Sees up to 19 Palestinians Trampled to Death’ - The Mirror
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 16 – At least 21 Palestinians died due to overcrowding and tear gas at a Gaza aid site, amid a broader crisis with nearly 875 killed seeking food near aid centers since May, UN data shows.
- A stampede at an aid hub in Khan Younis, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said, killed at least 20 Palestinians, instigated by armed agitators.
- According to the United Nations, almost 900 Gazans have been killed seeking food in recent weeks amid Gaza's ongoing blockade.
- A survivor told Al Jazeera, `We got to the gate and realized it was closed`, and the organization reported one fatal stabbing, as site guards locked gates and used pepper spray.
- Gaza's Health Ministry disputed the GHF's account as false and misleading, while the U.N. said the death toll near those sites has reached nearly 700.
- Despite the urgent needs, UNRWA Director Juliette Touma said the current aid mechanism is not working and urged a return to the previous system, as the U.N. warns GHF aid covers only a fraction of Gaza’s needs.
