The former security contractor of the controversial New Sazarel and the US -based distribution site said that colleagues have caused fire several times to the BBC’s hungry Palestinians who are not threatened, including machine guns.

He said at once that the guards caused a fire in a machine gun.

When he was asked to respond to the Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), this claim was categorically false.

They mentioned us a statement that civilians were not fire at the GHF distribution site.

GHF started operating in Gaza at the end of May and distributed limited assistance on several sites in the southern and central parties. As a result, Israel did not enter the territory after 11 weeks of blockade by Israel.

The system has been widely criticized for forcing the vast number of people to pass through active battle areas and walk to a small number of sites. The United Nations and local doctors have said that since the beginning of the GHF, the Israeli troops have died of more than 400 Palestinians. Israel says that a new distribution system is stopping the aid to Hamas.

In one of the GHF sites, his guards continued to explain the incident that they were fired by the Palestinian group. The former contractor said:

“The Palestinians didn’t move to the ground. And the other contractor who was standing there, ‘Damn, I think you have one’. And they laughed at it.”

According to the conditions of anonymity, the contractor to us suggested that the GHF administrators wiped the report as a coincidence, and the Palestinians were “treading” or “tired and tired.”

GHF insisted that a person who made this claim ended for illegal acts. He showed a payment slip that suggested that he had paid for two weeks after leaving the post.

The person we said that we worked in all four GHF distribution sites described the culture of injustice with little rules or control.

He was not given a clear rules for clear participation or standard operation procedures, and told a team leader:

He said that the company’s culture is, “We are not a rules. Do what you want.”

“If the Palestinians are far from the field and do not show hostile intentions, we are wrong if we take warning photos. We are criminal negligence.”

He argued that GHF claims that CCTVs monitor the activities of the area on each site, and that no one hit or shot it, “absolute bare -handed lies.”

GHF said that shooting was heard in a video shared with the BBC.

Team leaders mentioned Gazan as “zombies,” and former contractors said, “These people claim that they are not worth.”

The man also said that the Palestinians were harming in different ways on the GHF site.

He said that the Palestinians witnessed several serious wounds, including a man who had a pepper spray can and a stun grenade metal, and inappropriated women who were inappropriate.

“The metal sculpture hit her directly in her head, and she did not move and fell to the ground,” he said. “I don’t know if she is dead. I know that she is unconscious and totally lame.”

The GHF operation was accused of forcing people to walk in an active combat area.

Earlier this week, more than 170 charity and other NGOs urged to close GHF. Oxfam and organizations that save children say that Israeli troops and armed groups cause a “everyday” fire to the Palestinians looking for the aid.

Israel says that soldiers intentionally refuse to shoot the aid, and GHF’s ​​system bypasses Hamas’s interference and provides direct help to those who need it.

GHF ate more than 55 million times in five weeks, and other organizations said, “It was helplessly built as the aid was plundered.”

The Israeli army started the campaign on Gaza in response to the Israeli attack on October 7, 2023, with about 1,200 deaths and 251 hostages.

According to the territory of the territory, at least 57,130 people have died in Gaza.
