SINWAR
The GHF said there had been no incidents “at any of our three sites” on Sunday.
Outside Nasser Hospital, where the emergency workers brought the casualties, AFPTV footage showed mourners crying over blood-stained body bags.
“I can’t see you like this,” said Lin al-Daghma by her father’s body.
She spoke of the struggle to access food aid after the two-months Israeli blockade, despite the recent easing.
At a charity kitchen in Gaza City, displaced Palestinian Umm Ghassan told AFP she had been unable to collect aid from a GHF site “because there were so many people, and there was a lot of shooting. I was afraid to go in, but there were people who risked their lives for their children and families”.
Also on Sunday, the Israeli military said it had located and identified the body of Mohammed Sinwar, presumed Hamas leader in Gaza, in an “underground tunnel route beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis”, in southern Gaza.
The military, which until Sunday had not confirmed his death, said Israeli forces killed Sinwar on May 13.
Sinwar was the younger brother of slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, accused by Israel of masterminding the 2023 attack that triggered the war.
The Hamas attack resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official figures.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says at least 54,880 people, the majority civilians, have been killed in the territory since the start of the war. The UN considers these figures reliable.
After the deaths of several Hamas leaders, Mohammed Sinwar was thought to be at the heart of decisions on indirect negotiations with Israel.
The military said that alongside Sinwar’s body, forces had found “additional intelligence” at the Khan Younis site “underneath the hospital, right under the emergency room”.
