Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Denies AP Report Claiming Five Killed at Aid Sites, Releases Video Evidence, Pursues Legal Action

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has categorically denied allegations published by the Associated Press (AP) that five people were killed outside its aid distribution centers in Gaza. GHF stated that no civilians were under fire at their distribution sites, and that the gunfire heard in the AP video was not directed at individuals, with no one shot or injured. The organization launched an immediate investigation upon learning of the AP report and released time-stamped video footage and sworn witness statements to refute the claims. GHF also criticized the AP for not sharing the full video prior to publication and announced it is pursuing legal action regarding the false report. The AP's allegations reportedly cited Hamas as the sole source, which GHF and other observers have challenged as propaganda.
