At least 20 killed amid chaos at Gaza aid centre

At least 20 people were killed on July 16th at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid centre in southern Gaza, according to the BBC via Reuters.
The controversial US and Israeli-backed group said 19 were trampled and one stabbed amid a “chaotic and dangerous surge” at its Khan Younis site, allegedly incited by Hamas-linked agitators.Â
Nasser Hospital officials said it received 21 bodies of people who died due to suffocation, as a result of inhaling tear gas and a crush taking place in the aid centre.
