The UN Secretary -General called for an independent investigation into the murder of Palestinians near the Center for Assistance Center on Sunday, against the backdrop of controversial reports that Israeli troops opened fire.

The Red Cross stated that his hospital received 179 victims, 21 of which he died. The Hamas civil defense agency led to 31 years old.

On Sunday, the Israeli troops denied their troops, who fired civilians near him, and stated that the reports were false.

GHF said the reports were “open fiction” and that he had not yet seen evidence of an attack on his or her institution.

Israel does not allow international information organizations, including the BBC, in gas, which makes a check on what is happening on the territory.

The UN Secretary -General Guteres said in a statement on Monday: “I was delighted with the Palestinians who died and suffered, and yesterday, seeking gas.

“I call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for criminals who will be held accountable.”

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied that he branded his comments in a report on X, and criticized him for not mentioning Hamas.

Civil Defense Agency said 31 people were killed and 176 injured “after the Israeli firing set thousands of civilians near the US Rafe Aid” early on Sunday morning.

According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the Red Cross Hospital has received a “mass inflow of losses” from 179 cases, including women and children.

Most received gunshot or fragile wounds, and 21 were announced dead on arrival, saying, adding that “all patients said they tried to reach aid distribution.”

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said his teams at the Nasser Hospital in UNIS also treated people with serious injuries, some of whom were in critical condition.

It added that patients “reported that they were shot on all sides of Israeli drones, helicopters, boats, tanks and soldiers,” and that one employee’s brother was “killed, trying to gather help from the distribution center.”

“The warnings were fired,” the official said before insisting that “there is no connection between the incident and false allegations of IDF.”

The GHF statement said on Monday that the reports were “the most outrageous in terms of open fiction and misinformation provided by the international media.

“Yesterday there were no injuries, deaths and incidents yesterday. The period. We do not see any evidence that there was an attack on our institution or nearby.”

US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Hakabi accused the main newsletters of “ill -advised and irresponsible reporting” on this issue.

“Video in the drone and first-hand bills have shown that no injuries, no deaths, no shooting, no chaos,” he said on Monday.

“The only source for these misleading, exaggerated and fully fabricated stories came from Hamas sources, which are designed to unravel the flames of anti -Semitic hatred, which may promote violence against Jews in the US,” he added.
