Amid reports of large numbers of dead and wounded Gazans who were on their way to a humanitarian hub, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says that “our aid was again distributed today without incident.”

“We are aware of rumors being actively fomented by Hamas suggesting deaths and injuries today. They are untrue and fabricated,” it continues in a statement.

A Red Cross hospital said at least 21 people were killed this morning and another 175 injured, without saying who opened fire on them.

The GHF says it has distributed over 4.7 million meals over the past week, including 887,00 at the Tel Sultan site this morning.
