Multiple aid workers were killed after a bus was attacked in Gaza on Wednesday night, according to a US-backed humanitarian aid organization which accused Hamas of carrying out the assault.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation stated that Hamas killed at least eight of its aid workers in an ambush yesterday. The incident follows threats by Hamas "against any entity or individual that collaborates or coordinates with the enemy's schemes" and claims by sources on the ground that Hamas Arrow Unit members have attempted to disrupt aid distribution.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the United States- and Israel-backed organisation established to supplant the aid work of the United Nations, has accused Hamas fighters of killing eight of its staff and wounding multiple others in an attack on a bus en route to a food distribution centre.
