Allegations of War Crimes Emerge from Gaza Humanitarian Efforts
A former employee of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has come forward with serious allegations about witnessing war crimes during his time working at aid sites supported by Israel and the United States. The retired U.S. soldier, who chose to remain anonymous, expressed his disillusionment with the situation in Gaza, leading to his decision to leave his role within the organization.
The ex-soldier recounted harrowing experiences that he claims provided direct evidence of human rights violations occurring within conflict zones, detailing how the aid meant for civilians might have been diverted or mismanaged amidst the violence. This shocking revelation adds to the increasingly critical narrative about humanitarian actions in Gaza, where aid continues to be a contentious and complex topic.
International Tensions Escalate
As the situation evolves, Cambodia has publicly called for an immediate ceasefire in its ongoing border skirmishes with Thailand.

Meanwhile, the United Nations has categorized the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza as worsening, with officials indicating that many residents are experiencing extreme hunger. The head of the UN’s humanitarian agency condemned the aerial drops of aid, suggesting they serve only to distract from the deepening crisis facing the population.
