Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Rejects False Claims by Former Aid Worker
(Times of Israel) The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has refuted claims aired on BBC on Friday by former GHF aid worker Anthony Aguilar that Israel was committing "war crimes" in Gaza. The GHF said Aguilar made "false claims with no basis in reality. "Upon hearing Mr. Aguilar's claims, we immediately launched an investigation. The findings, based on cross-checking the timelines with video clips and on sources on the ground, indicate that these are false claims with no basis in reality." "It should be emphasized that Mr. Aguilar was employed as a subcontractor and was fired over a month ago for inappropriate behavior. Following the dismissal, we received threats that unless he was reinstated, action would be taken against us, raising questions regarding the motivation behind his interviews." "We continue to focus on our core mission: to provide food to the residents of Gaza - safely, directly and without interruption, as we have been doing since the beginning of operations on May 27. Since then, we have distributed more than 92 million rations to the Palestinian residents of Gaza."
