Five Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Bus Attack

At least five aid workers were killed and several others injured when a bus carrying Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) staff was attacked near Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Wednesday night. The GHF, now described as a US- and Israeli-backed aid group, and multiple reports attribute the attack to Hamas operatives, with fears that some workers may have been kidnapped. The attack followed days of threats from Hamas against GHF staff and those receiving aid, whom Hamas accused of collaborating with Israel. GHF condemned the incident as 'an attack on humanity' and called for international condemnation of Hamas. Despite the violence and ongoing disputes over aid distribution methods, GHF has pledged to continue delivering humanitarian aid to Palestinians. The attack underscores the dangerous conditions faced by aid workers and ongoing strife over the delivery of humanitarian assistance in Gaza.
