A deepening hunger crisis in Gaza

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S. and Israeli-backed humanitarian aid initiative, has been delivering food into Gaza since May.
 
Since then, the U.N. says hundreds of Palestinians have been killed outside of GHF aid sites. PBS News’ Nick Schifrin spoke with former security contractor Anthony Aguilar about what he saw there and why he believes the execution of the GHF mission has failed.

“What we were doing in Gaza and how we were doing it is un-American. It is not in line with American values,” Aguilar said of tactics being used at controversial aid sites. “I didn't raise my right hand and take an oath to a president, to a Congress, to a contract, to money.”
 
“I took an oath to the Constitution,” he added, “and those values are not what's happening in Gaza.”
