‘I have never seen such use of force against unarmed civilians’: Ex-GHF worker
A US security guard who worked for the controversial US-backed GHF aid organisation has told Israel’s Channel 12 that “the aid centres treated the population very badly and put them in danger.”
In an interview broadcast on the channel on Tuesday, he stated that the GHF system “can’t be fixed, it has to be put an end to”, adding that “if the UN had the resources and coordination that this mechanism has, it would work much better.”
He criticised the indiscriminate behaviour of GHF staff and recounted an incident in which a Palestinian who was collecting food from the ground was pepper-sprayed by US security guards, despite posing no threat.
He also described an incident where a GHF member of staff threw a stun grenade directly at a Palestinian woman, who collapsed and fell to the floor. “That was the moment I realised I couldn’t go on,” he said.
“While the Palestinians were finishing collecting the aid that was at the site, the American security guards began shooting at them … shooting at their feet, shooting at the earthen embankments, to make them leave,” he recounted.
“In all my military service, I have never seen such use of force against unarmed civilians. I will not take part in it now,” he said.
In a statement, the GHF rejected the allegations and said the contractor had been fired for misconduct.
Tunisia’s president shows Trump adviser photographs of starving children in Gaza
Kais Saied has presented Massad Boulos, US President Donald Trump’s top Africa adviser, with images of starving children in the Gaza Strip.
Official video from the meeting at the presidential palace in Carthage showed the Tunisian president telling Boulos that “it is time for all of humanity to wake up and put an end to these crimes against the Palestinian people.
“I believe you know these images well,” Saied was seen telling the envoy as he showed a photograph of what he described as “a child crying, eating sand in occupied Palestine”.
“In the 21st century, he eats sand because he found nothing else. Sand in his hands, another dying and taking his last breath from hunger.”
Saied showed Boulos several more images, saying Palestinians in Gaza were subjected to crimes against humanity.
“It is absolutely unacceptable,” Saied was heard saying as Boulos stood silently, occasionally nodding. “It is a crime against all of humanity.”
