Nava Freiberg is The Times of Israel's deputy diplomatic correspondent.

After the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation claimed that its dead and wounded workers — allegedly attacked by Hamas last night— were evacuated by the International Committee of the Red Cross to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, an ICRC spokesperson tells The Times of Israel that the organization was not involved in the evacuation.

While the ICRC operates a field hospital in Rafah, just south of Khan Younis, its medical teams do not operate inside Nasser Hospital.

A GHF spokesperson doesn’t immediately respond to a request for clarification based on the ICRC’s statement.
