At least 20 Palestinians were killed in a chaotic crowd surge at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid centre in Khan Younis on Wednesday. The Israel and US-backed group blamed armed agitators within the crowd. Palestinian health officials said suffocation and crushing caused the deaths. Over 875 people have died near Gaza aid sites in 6 weeks. The UN has condemned these centres as "death traps" amid Gaza’s worsening hunger crisis, with 1 in 10 children now malnourished. GHF rejected criticism, insisting its security reduces looting risks, while Palestinians say they have no other option for food. (PC: NDTV)
