Shocking new claims by Israeli soldiers about killings of aid seekers

There have been shocking admissions in a report from Israeli newspaper Haaretz, quoting Israeli soldiers and officers saying they’d been given orders to shoot unarmed Palestinians who were seeking aid in order to disperse crowds. For nearly a month since this aid rollout began, the Israeli military and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which operates the aid distribution programme, have either denied or downplayed the fact that there are Palestinians getting killed while seeking aid. People in Gaza have said these distribution centres have now become a death trap for Palestinians. Aid groups have said that Palestinians are left with no choice — to either starve to death, or die seeking the very little food that is offered in the distribution centres run by the GHF. From the beginning, it’s been a shadowy and incredibly controversial group, with questions over who exactly was backing it and gave it the initial funding. Many are pointing the finger at the Israelis for wanting to control all the humanitarian distribution in order to get more access militarily inside Gaza. What this report is saying is that the 549 Palestinians who have been killed in the last month seeking aid were killed by Israeli soldiers who were given orders to shoot.
