Hamas says 30 killed during aid distribution, GHF rejects claims

Palestinian extremist group Hamas says 30 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza while looking to pick up aid at new humanitarian distribution centres run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Dozens of people were injured, according to Hamas on Sunday, but the GHF denied the allegations.

"Our aid was again distributed today without incident," the foundation said in a statement, adding it was "aware of rumors being actively fomented by Hamas suggesting deaths and injuries today."

"They are untrue and fabricated," GHF said.

Since the start of the operation six days ago, a total of more than 4.7 million meals have been distributed to Gazans, according to the foundation.

The Hamas media office had reported an Israeli attack in a buffer zone in Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip, where the foundation had been distributing aid supplies.

The information cannot be independently verified. The Israeli military has so far not commented on the allegations.
