(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Col. (ret.) Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, visited the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site at El-Bureij in central Gaza on Wednesday. He told the Jerusalem Post, "I have never seen anything like this. It is brilliantly conceived and extremely well executed. They are feeding the people of Gaza until such time as it becomes unnecessary." "When I arrived...there were already 20 truckloads of aid loaded into the site. The citizens were allowed in and collected their aid. Most of the interactions between the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and people getting aid is through local employees, Palestinians working for the GHF. There is pretty limited interaction between the mainly American staff" and the Palestinian civilians, as the Americans are focused mainly on "security and the logistics of running the place." "Aid is stacked up row by row in a compound, with 20,000 people, around 1,000 coming in" at a time. "The vast majority were extremely happy." Despite numerous incidents reported in the media about mass shootings of Palestinian around or on their way to GHF sites - reports that GHF says are invented - the Palestinians Kemp spoke to had "no apprehension whatsoever" of being shot by IDF or GHF security guards. Local Palestinian employees working with GHF "were saying Hamas really hates the GHF sites, and they threaten people not to use them. They hate them because they want to get their hands on the aid themselves." These Palestinian employees "feared for their own lives if they were identified as cooperating with GHF. Their faces were covered when in proximity to people coming to collect the aid." Kemp met with GHF managers, who "are pretty frustrated that the UN has refused to cooperate with them, and also that there is so much bad press, which they think is unwarranted." They thought "the UN ought to be cooperating with them, combine efforts, and then aid could be much more efficiently delivered. I agree with that. It is a really big mistake that the UN and other aid agencies won't cooperate with GHF." 2025-06-20 00:00:00Full Article
