Pro-Palestinian protestors campaign outside US home of GHF's executive director
Dozens of members from the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement, and community members, held a protest on Sunday outside the home of John Acree, executive director of the controversial US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is distributing aid in Gaza. More than 1,000 Palestinians seeking aid have been killed by the Israeli military and US contractors since it launched at the end of May. Acree has been accused of committing war crimes. The protestors banged pots and pans, spray-painted GHF aid boxes and a cutout of Acree's face with red paint, and flyered his neighbourhood.
