A former British soldier in Gaza has shared chaotic and unsettling scenes of civilians rushing to collect aid from a distribution site as essentials continued to trickle into the beleaguered Palestinian enclave.
Andrew Fox, a former British Army airborne officer, shared a series of clips from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site in Rafah, describing an 'influx of hungry Gazans coming to get their aid'.
The video was shared on social media in the early hours of Tuesday morning, after Israel said on Sunday it would halt military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of the Gaza Strip and allow new aid corridors.
Rival aid efforts have sparked a war of words, pitting Israel, the U.S. and the GHF against the U.N., international aid groups and dozens of governments from around the world. Some have accused Israel of deliberately starving Gaza's civilian population.
Israel and the U.S. accuse Hamas of stealing aid - which they deny - and the U.N. of failing to prevent it. The U.N. says it has not seen evidence of mass aid diversion in Gaza by Hamas. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and no starvation per se.
