We’ve geolocated graphic footage from Khan Younis, southern Gaza, showing the aftermath of a deadly incident surrounding aid distribution.
The video shows bloodied, lifeless bodies on the ground, damaged vehicles and dazed bystanders.
By matching the street layout and the shape of surrounding buildings with satellite imagery on Google Earth, we’ve confirmed the video was filmed at an intersection in eastern Khan Younis. We’ve also verified that the clip is recent, using screenshots and reverse image searches to rule out if it’s an old video previously uploaded online.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry agency said more than 50 people were killed. According to witnesses and rescuers, Israeli forces opened fire near an aid distribution site. The Israeli military has told the BBC it is looking into the reports.
We previously verified footage from the same area last month, showing people carrying sacks of aid. We’re continuing to gather and analyse further material from today’s incident.
Note: Due to the graphic nature of the original video we are not sharing it here.
