The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has reported that two of its US aid workers were injured during a violent incident while distributing aid in Khan Younis, Gaza. The foundation, which has been operational since May, stated that the attack involved militants throwing grenades at their aid center, with Hamas being blamed for the assault. The injured workers are currently in stable condition and receiving medical treatment, and thankfully, no other aid personnel or civilians were harmed during this occurrence.

US Aid Workers Injured in Gaza Aid Distribution Attack
A controversial aid distribution program in Gaza faced violence, injuring two US workers from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Critics have condemned the GHF's distribution method, which has necessitated sending aid recipients through combat areas. Reports from the UN and local medical sources indicate that Israeli forces have killed over 400 Palestinians who were trying to gather food aid since the GHF's implementation of its controversial operation. The GHF maintains that this system is intended to prevent aid from reaching Hamas.
The assault comes at a time when Hamas has expressed willingness to engage in ceasefire discussions with Israel. In detailing the day's events, the GHF noted that the attack occurred after a successful aid distribution effort, where thousands of Gazans received food assistance without incident. However, the organization reiterated that it had received threats from Hamas regarding potential targeting of American personnel and aid workers.
Meanwhile, Gaza's civil defense agency reported that 32 Palestinians lost their lives due to Israeli military action on the same day, while Friday's discussions hinted at a future ceasefire agreement that could involve the exchange of hostages. Hamas is pushing for modifications to the proposed ceasefire plan, including the abolition of the GHF's role in aid distribution. As violence escalates, reports indicate that the conflict's human toll has surged, with Gaza's health ministry reporting over 57,000 deaths throughout the ongoing war.
