Gaza Aid-Site Stampede Leaves 20 People Dead at Khan Younis Hub

Twenty people were killed Wednesday at an aid distribution site in Gaza run by an Israeli and US-backed organization, while talks for a ceasefire make little headway.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said 19 people died after being trampled during a “chaotic and dangerous surge” at an aid point in the southern city of Khan Younis, one of Gaza’s largest. One person was fatally stabbed, the foundation added in a statement.
