'I witnessed war crimes' in Gaza, former worker at GHF aid site tells BBC

A retired US special forces officer has revealed to the BBC why he resigned from his work with US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution centres.

"I witnessed the Israeli Defense Forces shooting at the crowds of Palestinians," Anthony Aguilar told the BBC.

He added that in his entire career he has never witnessed such a level of "brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population".

The GHF has called the allegations made by Anthony Aguilar "categorically false" and said he was a "disgruntled former contractor who was terminated for misconduct", which he denies. The IDF said the incidents were "under review".
