# Israel says Hamas was weaponising suffering in Gaza after a US and Israeli-backed charity accused the Palestinian militant group of killing five of its aid workers in the territory. The distribution of food and basic supplies in the blockaded and war-ravaged Gaza Strip has become increasingly fraught and perilous, exacerbating the territory’s deep hunger crisis. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said a bus carrying its staff to a distribution site near the southern city of Khan Yunis was attacked by Hamas, killing at least five Palestinian aid workers.
