Hamas Kills 8 Workers For U.S.-Backed Gaza Aid Program In Bus Attack, Others Feared Kidnapped
Hamas attacked a bus on Wednesday night, killing at least eight Gazans working for the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — and injuring several others.
A bus carrying two dozen members of GHF was en route to one of the aid distribution centers west of Khan Yunis when the attack occurred, according to the group. There is a fear that other workers may have been taken hostage, in the assault which the group is calling “an attack on humanity.”
“We condemn this heinous and deliberate attack in the strongest possible terms,” GHF said in a statement. “These were aid workers. Humanitarians. Fathers, brothers, sons, and friends, who were risking their lives every day to help others.
The attack comes after days of Hamas threatening the group’s aid workers and civilians accepting aid.
“The GHF holds Hamas fully responsible for taking the lives of our dedicated workers who have been distributing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people at the foundation’s sites in central and southern Gaza.”
GHF called on the international community to condemn Hamas for the “unprovoked attack” against their workers “simply trying to feed the Palestinian people.”
