IDF Shoots Boy Moments after Receiving Aid from US Soldier In a heartbreaking moment shared on a recent podcast, a US soldier recounted a scene that continues to haunt him from his time stationed at the GHF aid distribution point in Gaza. "Amir, a frail child, barefoot, walked 12 kilometres under the sun to reach the distribution point. He only received a handful of rice and lentils from the ground. He approached me, kissed my hand, and said: 'Thank you.' Minutes later, as he was leaving with the rest of the civilians, the Israeli army fired gas and bullets, and Amir was killed on the spot." Scenes like this are not isolated. Aid distribution centres in Gaza have become “death traps,” where more than 1,050 Palestinians have been killed while trying to access food, many deliberately targeted with tear gas and live ammunition by Israeli forces and American private security contractors.
