US contractors *guarding* #aid distribution sites in #Gaza are using #LiveAmmunition & stun #grenades as hungry #Palestinians scramble for food, acc/to accounts & videos obtained by The AP.2 #US contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers’ internal ops, said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous & irresponsible practices.#WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #law https://apnews.com/article/palestinians-israel-gaza-contractors-aid-distribution-fe27f3ea83e06a09d66424eed7a5d56f?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2025-07-02-Gaza+aid

The contractors said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily #armed & seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished.They said their colleagues regularly lobbed stun #grenades & #PepperSpray in the direction of the #Palestinians. One contractor said bullets were fired in all directions—in the air, into the ground & at times *toward* the Palestinians, recalling at least 1 instance where he thought someone had been hit.#WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #law

“There are innocent people being hurt. Badly. Needlessly,” the contractor said.He said American staff on the sites monitor those coming to seek food & document anyone considered “suspicious.” He said they share such information with the #IDF.Videos provided by one of the contractors & taken at the sites show hundreds of #Palestinians crowded between metal gates, jostling for #aid amid the sound of #bullets, stun #grenades & the sting of #PepperSpray.#WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #Law

Other videos include conversation between English-speaking men discussing how to disperse crowds & encouraging each other after bursts of gunfire.The testimonies from the contractors — combined with the videos, internal reports & text messages obtained by the AP — offer a rare glimpse inside the #GazaHumanitarianFoundation, the newly created, secretive American organization backed by #Israel [& run by a #Trump ally] to feed the #Gaza Strip’s population.#WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #Law

Last month, the #USgovernment pledged $30 million for the group to continue operations — the first known US donation to the group, whose other funding sources remain opaque.Journalists have been unable to access the#GazaHumanitarianFoundation [#GHF] sites, located in #IDF controlled zones. The AP cannot independently verify the contractors’ stories.#WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #InternationalLaw

A spox for #SafeReachSolutions, the logistics company subcontracted by #GHF, told the AP that there have been no serious injuries at any of their sites to date. In scattered incidents, security professionals fired live rounds into the ground & away from civilians to get their attention. That happened in the early days at the “the height of desperation where crowd control measures were necessary for the safety and security of civilians,” the spox said.#WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #Law

For 2 1/2 months before GHF’s opening in May, #Israel blocked all food, water & medicine from entering #Gaza, claiming #Hamas was stealing the #aid being transported under a preexisting system coordinated by the #UnitedNations. It now wants #GHF to replace that #UN system. The UN says its Gaza aid operations do not involve armed guards.#WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #InternationalLaw

…#GHF is an American organization, registered in Delaware & established in February to distribute #humanitarian #aid during the ongoing #Gaza humanitarian crisis. Since the GHF sites began operating more than a month ago, #Palestinians say #Israel troops open fire almost every day toward crowds on roads heading to the distribution points, through #IDF zones. Several hundred people have been killed & hundreds more wounded, acc/to Gaza’s Health Ministry & witnesses.#WarCrimes #InternationalLaw

@Nonilex The world is so fkn ugly right now. Time to tune out and be grateful and pray for those less fortunate & especially those who are suffering at the hands of other “human beings”.

@Nonilex thanks to Netanyahu for making the US only the second biggest shithole right now.

@Nonilex Makes perfect sense. There are two million Americans under guard in cages, many by private contractors. We do enjoy exporting our culture.
