GHF denies reports of deaths and mass injuries, says Hamas and others pushing false claims to harm it

The Gaza Humanitarian Fund denies reports of deaths, mass injuries and chaos at its aid distribution sites, saying that only two people have been injured at its compounds since it began operating in Gaza three days ago.

“To-date two Gazans have required medical care that was delivered on-site — one relating to dehydration and another who was injured by others seeking aid,” says a GHF statement.

It says Hamas and other parties are bent on GHF failing and spreading false reports in order to harm the US and Israeli backed organization. One of those false reports claimed that GHF halted operations due to gunfire at one of its site earlier Wednesday.

While GHF urges journalists to verify sources before publishing developments pertaining to GHF, the organization yesterday issued a statement claiming that only a “small number” of Palestinians overran one of its aid sites when footage showed that thousands looted their sites.

In reviewing that incident in its latest statement, GHF avoids downplaying the scope of yesterday’s overrun, but says it was anticipated due to “acute hunger and Hamas-imposed blockades.”
