The US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says that at least eight people had been killed in an attack on its workers in the Palestinian territory, raising the earlier given toll of five, AFP reports.

“As of now, we can confirm at least eight fatalities, multiple injuries, and we fear that some of our team members have been taken hostage,” GHF interim executive director John Acree said in a statement.
