Painful moments... a British soldier documents the brutality of the occupation against the starving in Gaza.

A British recruit named David McIntosh documented, through newly filmed video clips, what he said he witnessed in Gaza during his service with a joint force tasked with securing aid at distribution points run by the Gaza Humanity Foundation, which the United States had previously announced launching in the Gaza Strip.

The clips published on his Instagram page showed Israeli occupation soldiers stationed on tanks firing directly at starving civilians at the aid distribution points 'for entertainment,' which are the sites where a large number of Palestinians were killed while waiting to receive food.

The British recruit, in a caption attached to the video clips, said that watching those scenes was 'painful,' noting that he had the 'honor of serving in Gaza as part of a joint force alongside a elite group of American soldiers,' praising his colleagues whom he described as 'elite, highly skilled' who had made great efforts at the distribution sites.

But he said that the Israeli forces surrounding those sites 'were not less brutal,' stressing that they fired on civilians 'openly and merely for entertainment.'

He explained that the clips show relief sites in Gaza and Palestinians who 'refuse to surrender to fear or to let their families die of hunger,' accusing the Israeli forces of attempting to 'sabotage the relief work' and committing what he described as 'war crimes with ease.'

Painful testimonies from Gazans.

The video clips gained wide circulation on social media among activists and human rights advocates, who reposted them widely, recalling what they called the crimes and violations associated with the Gaza Humanity Foundation's work in the Gaza Strip during the genocidal war.

One activist wrote that those sites witnessed the deaths of dozens of his relatives, including his uncle Kamal who went out in search of food for his children, adding that 'starving civilians were executed there, and some of them were buried alive, at a time when the occupation prevented any documentation of what happened.'

He stressed that 'thousands of Palestinians were killed simply because they were looking for something to satisfy their hunger.'

Bloggers described the scenes as 'painful and wrenching,' saying they show what they considered 'the hunting of Gazans' during the famine imposed by the Israeli occupation on the Strip.

By contrast, others said the clips 'expose the cruelty of the occupation that besieges the people, starves them and then kills them,' noting that there are many documents and testimonies about what happened, but 'the problem is there is no one to hold them accountable in courts.'

A number of activists asserted that the organization 'entered Gaza under the banner of relief and left it accusing that it was harsher than the shells,' leaving behind - in their words - 'thousands of martyrs and memories that will not fade.'

UN criticisms and casualty figures.

The Gaza Humanity Foundation was tasked with distributing food aid in May of last year, after Israel imposed restrictions on the work of international agencies.

But UN experts and relief organizations harshly criticized this mechanism, deeming it flawed and exposing civilians to danger.

This organization operated four distribution centers in Gaza, compared with 400 centers run by the UN aid system, but several reports accused Gaza Humanity Foundation of failing to protect civilians, as its centers became 'death traps.'

About 1,109 Palestinians were martyred directly as a result of gunfire or shelling while approaching or entering the foundation’s distribution centers in the Gaza Strip, including 225 children, 852 adults, and 32 elderly people.

The number of victims struck while waiting for aid over two years of the war reached 1,506 martyrs and 19,182 injured, meaning that the number of martyrs at the organization’s distribution centers accounted for 73% of those casualties, according to the Gaza government’s media office.
