US-backed Gaza aid group says 5 killed in Hamas attack
The US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has accused the militant group Hamas of killing at least five people in an attack on a bus carrying its aid workers to one of its distribution sites.
The group said in a statement that at around 10 p.m. local time on Wednesday (1900 GMT) "a bus carrying more than two-dozen members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation team... was brutally attacked by Hamas."
"We are still gathering facts, but what we know is devastating: there are at least five fatalities, multiple injuries, and fear that some of our team members may have been taken hostage," the statement added.
Despite objections from the UN, the GHF has taken over aid distribution in the Gaza Strip.
