Retired U.S. Special Forces officer Anthony Aguilar was hired by private contractor UG Solutions to provide security for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a for-profit entity funded to the tune of $30 million by the U.S. government to distribute food aid in Gaza. But the project was ill-fated from its inception. A good faith commitment to feeding Gazans would been leaving the U.N. Relief and Works Agency intact. Four hundred distribution sites under UNRWA became just four under GHF's control, and Palestinian corpses accumulated at distribution sites as contractors shot at crowds and distributed meagre meals to a starving population. Meanwhile, contractors being paid $1200 per day slept in luxury across the border in Israel, while they ordered Domino's Pizza to feed Palestinian staffers that had not been provided for. In his shocking testimony, Aguilar blows the whistle on offenses more egregious than you can imagine.
