U.S. contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press. Two contractors said security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished. Reporter Julia Frankel talks you through the videos. ⁣ ⁣ A spokesperson for Safe Reach Solutions, the logistics company subcontracted by GHF, told the AP that there have been no serious injuries at any of their sites to date. In scattered incidents, security professionals fired live rounds into the ground and away from civilians to get their attention. That happened in the early days at the “the height of desperation where crowd control measures were necessary for the safety and security of civilians,” the spokesperson said.⁣ ⁣ #gaza #ghf #palestine #usa #israel #aid #aiddistribution
