In a post on X<\/a> Sunday evening, the IDF called the allegations against the Israeli military \u201cfalse reports\u201d and said that an initial inquiry indicated that \u201cthe IDF did not fire at civilians<\/a> while they were near or within\u201d the aid station. <\/p>\n

The GHF denied the incident had taken place<\/a>, branding the reports of casualties \u201cuntrue and fabricated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident showcases persisting difficulties around delivering aid to Gaza even after Israel agreed to relax an almost three-month blockade against the enclave last month.<\/p>\n

The GHF, which is backed by the U.S. as well as Israel, has led humanitarian aid efforts since then, after Tel Aviv accused Hamas of stealing aid \u2014 a claim disputed<\/a> by both the militant group and traditional aid organizations. The GHF has also drawn criticism from U.N. officials who accuse it<\/a> of contributing to the forced relocation of Palestinians in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA, said<\/a> that aid distribution in Gaza had \u201cbecome a death trap\u201d and a \u201chumiliating system\u201d designed to force \u201cthousands of hungry [and] desperate people to walk for tens of miles to an area that\u2019s all but pulverized.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria Rose, a British surgeon working at the emergency department of the nearby Nasser hospital, said patients had been brought in on Sunday with gunshot wounds, in a video released<\/a> by the Hamas-run Palestinian health ministry. She described the hospital as \u201cabsolute carnage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a post on X Sunday evening, the IDF called the allegations against the Israeli military \u201cfalse reports\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150999,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[473,2438,5205,2000,299,5187,2207,837,1814,6738,6658,2824,49,771],"class_list":{"0":"post-150998","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-defense","9":"tag-department","10":"tag-doctors","11":"tag-eu","12":"tag-europe","13":"tag-european","14":"tag-hospitals","15":"tag-israel","16":"tag-palestine","17":"tag-patients","18":"tag-refugees","19":"tag-tanks","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-war"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114611442527251823","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
