"A starving 5-year-old Amir walked 12 kilometers to collect food at the food distribution center in Rafah run by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and it is heartbreaking. He approached me and took a bag, but he had nothing to put in it.
Then Amir extended his hand, and I thought he wanted more aid. I extended mine to him and he kissed it and said, "Thank you."
I looked at this little boy, barefoot, starving, barely clothed, and said, 'Someone cares for you?'
I was kneeling on my knees, and Amir approached me, held my head in his thin, dusty hands, and said, "Thank you." He then left, carrying the small amount of food he had taken from me.
Moments later, the Israeli army opened fire on the hungry crowds who had come to collect the food, and they fell in front of me one by one. Among those whose bodies were pierced and killed by bullets was this child, Ameer."
The above statement is a testimony by a US eyewitness The Resonance. He is a retired Lt. Col. who was serving as a contractor with Gaza Humanitarian Fund in Rafah.
