A medical aid leader was left stunned during an ABC interview on Sunday, in which her harrowing description of Gaza’s desperate humanitarian and starvation crisis was met with a question about the criminality of Hamas posting a video of a malnourished Israeli hostage.
Speaking to host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week,” Doctors Without Borders USA’s CEO, Avril Benoit, explained the deadly consequences of the shadowy Israeli- and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation – stressing that the effects of the manmade famine and weaponization of aid are negatively impacting every individual inside the Palestinian territory.
“We’re also seeing people coming in with all the catastrophic injuries that you would expect in an open zone of airstrikes and continuing hostilities. They’re coming in with those trauma injuries, third-degree burns to their entire bodies, children with their faces blown off – all the major orthopedic cases, the trauma,” she said.
Benoit added that the aid group’s clinics situated near the three GHF distribution sites in the south receive many casualties as a consequence of each chaotic aid delivery. In addition to gunshots by Israeli soldiers and American mercenaries, unarmed civilians of all ages are crushed and trampled on from the dense crowds desperate to get what limited food Israel allows into the territory.
