WATCH: GHF proves IDF did not shoot at innocent Gazans at aid distribution sites

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution center in Rafah denied on Sunday claims that the IDF attacked a food distribution point near Rafah, contradicting widely circulated Hamas reports.

Security camera footage from Sunday’s aid distribution site shows calm civilian activity, with no incidents reported. Aid was delivered without disruption, and the available evidence does not support claims of injuries or fatalities. While some media outlets have reported these allegations, others have contacted the organization to verify the facts, the GHF stated.

The IDF also said on Sunday that it was unaware of injuries caused by military gunfire within the humanitarian distribution zone, after news of an alleged Israeli attack in the area killed at least 31, according to Palestinian and Hamas-affiliated media. The IDF later said that the matter is being reviewed. 

Following the incident, the GHF denied claims of casualties and injuries at the aid distribution sites. “All aid was distributed today without incident. No injuries or fatalities. We have heard that these fake reports have been actively fomented by Hamas. They are untrue and fabricated,” GHF noted.

The US-backed group said on Sunday that it had distributed over 4.7 million meals within six days. 

“We’re scaling up as quickly as possible, but the truth is stark: for every truck we successfully bring into our network, other humanitarian groups are being looted before reaching those in need.”

GHF says it will continue to grow operations, including in northern Gaza 

GHF said that it distributed 16 truckloads of food in Tel Sultan, totaling 15,360 boxes, around 887,040 meals.

They noted that they will increase operations and build additional sites across Gaza, including in the northern Gaza Strip, in the weeks ahead. 

On Thursday, the GHF opened its third food distribution center, located in central Gaza. Two other food centers previously opened near Rafah in deep southern Gaza, and one more is still due to open in Khan Yunis in mid-southern Gaza.
