UN says at least 875 Palestinian killed near Gaza aid sites
The United Nations human rights office says it has documented at least 875 Palestinians killed over the past six weeks near aid delivery points across Gaza, most of them in areas tied to the Israeli- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
Thameen al-Kheetan, spokesperson for the UN rights office, told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday that 674 deaths occurred near GHF distribution sites.
Another 201 people were killed along aid convoy routes operated by the UN and other agencies, according to the official.
“The data we have is based on our own information gathering through various reliable sources, including medical, human rights and humanitarian organisations,” Al-Kheetan said.
The GHF has rejected the findings and accused the UN of spreading misinformation - an allegation the UN firmly denies.
