Face -to -face witnesses says that American subcontractors at Gaza’s help sites fired the Palestinians

Since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began operating almost three months ago, the UN says Hundreds of Palestinians They have been killed and killed by the defense forces of Israel and foreign military contractors in or near their help sites. News themezone spoke with an ocular new witness that said it is not only the dismissal of the IDF to the Palestinians, but also the personnel hired through US subcontractors to ensure GHF sites.

The witness, who we will refer to as Mike, asked News themezone to hide his identity because he fears reprisals. When Mike was hired by an American logistics company to drive help trucks in Israel, he said he had no idea that he would be working with the GHF within Gaza.

The GHF backed by the United States and Israel settled to replace the United Nations such as the main aid distributor in May. At the end of June, the United States Department of State Approved $ 30 million For the group, calling their “absolutely incredible” work.

Mike recorded videos and shared them with News themezone. You can listen to shots in the videos, which Mike says he was fired to the Palestinians looking for help.

“It took me two or three days to realize that they were really shooting people, they were not shooting the fighters,” he said.

When Patta asked him if he thought they were injecting, Mike said: “No, it’s indiscriminate.” He said that both FDI security staff and the American were shooting.

We do not see who is filming in the videos Mike gave us. But he said that there was not only one occasion to observe when there was no shots, and that he was in the sites brilliantly illuminated on average five days a week for several weeks. News themezone has seen his work schedule, and the metadata of his cell phone confirm The dates and times that was in Gaza.

More than 1,800 Palestinians have died trying to obtain food, at least 1,000 in the vicinity of GHF sites, according to the Office of the High Commissioners of the UN Human Rights. From GHF He started operating Help sites In May, News themezone has reported In almost daily shooting In or close GHF sitesand former US security contractors have talked about witnessing gunfire against Palestinian crowds in media interviews, including News.

Mike said the Palestinians would meet near the sites hours before they opened to be the first to take food. He told News themezone that “he has never seen a multitude of people behave with such intensity and so despair.”

When asked about the worst he experienced, Mike said that security contractors once commissioned that the cleaning of humans and animals remains adjacent to a place while he was at work, due to the bad smell issued by those remains.

“I fight to talk about that,” he said. “I even feel a little wet, and I can feel that my chest hits stronger. I really closed.”

GHF says that accusations that their contractors have triggered help applicants and handled their remains are “categorically false” and “completely unfounded.” They criticized the refusal of News themezone to provide more detailed information about Mike.

Mike said that some of the Americans hired to ensure GHF sites made him feel uncomfortable.

“They often boasted how many people have killed, if they managed to shoot the animals,” he said. “Or how many birds they had shot because they boasted how good their goal was.”

Mike is at home now and won’t come back.

When asked why he is sharing his experience, he said: “He would simply not sit well with me if he didn’t say something. These atrocities do not have to happen.”

GHF told News themezone that its contractors do not shoot against civilians, or, they say, anyone has been shot by GHF site, not even in view of a foundation site. And they say that “they have never found any situation that involves unresated bodies” in their sites or near their sites.

The IDF have categorically denied the accusations that Palestinian civilians deliberately shoot, but told News themezone that it is investigating recent reports of damage to civilians who approach GHF sites, and said that any deviation of the law will result in additional action.
