U.S. contractors linked to mass civilian deaths set for redeployment
Drop Site News has reported that a notorious U.S. private military company, previously known for its involvement in violent incidents at aid distribution sites in Gaza, is now actively recruiting former military personnel for a new deployment to the Gaza Strip.
UG Solutions, a U.S.-based military subcontractor that had previously secured a contract to provide security for the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), is expanding its recruitment efforts for what it describes as “robust security positions” in Gaza.
Reports indicate that the company plans to establish up to 15 new aid distribution sites as part of a broader initiative proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump to form an international stabilization force.
A former U.S. Army officer who interviewed for a role at UG Solutions said the company intends to deploy new personnel by December.
Contracts reportedly offer up to $1,000 per day for armed guard duties. Applicants have been told that the mission will involve providing security for humanitarian aid zones in Gaza.
Internal emails obtained by Drop Site News show that the company is reviewing candidate qualifications for operations in what are described as high-risk environments.
The recruitment drive follows a November 17 UN Security Council resolution authorizing the deployment of an international stabilization force in Gaza. However, this force will operate independently of the United Nations and will instead report to a new body called the “Peace Commission,” headed by Trump, which has been granted authority over security, reconstruction, and humanitarian operations in Gaza.

Jennifer Kanter, Vice President of Government Affairs at UG Solutions, confirmed that the company is preparing for a range of scenarios, including a strong security presence supporting humanitarian aid delivery, and emphasized that negotiations with relevant stakeholders are ongoing.
2,600 Palestinians killed near GHF distribution sites
The so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was established in early 2025 as a U.S.- and Israeli-backed mechanism, ostensibly to facilitate humanitarian relief for the Gaza Strip amid a severe blockade and food crisis.
This model deviated sharply from traditional humanitarian operations. Instead of working with the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) or major humanitarian NGOs, GHF centralized aid delivery through a limited number of distribution sites.
Human rights organizations, including Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), have accused GHF distribution centers of being unsafe for civilians, structurally biased, and even complicit in violence, noting that large numbers of Palestinians were killed or injured while seeking aid at GHF-managed sites.
Between May and October, during GHF operations in Gaza supported by UG Solutions contractors, over 2,600 Palestinians were killed and more than 19,000 were injured at or near aid distribution points.
Video evidence and eyewitness testimony indicate that guards hired by UG Solutions used live ammunition and stun grenades while managing aid distribution.
Anthony Aguilar, a former UG Solutions contractor, resigned in protest and described the aid distribution sites as “death traps,” accusing the company of involvement in serious abuses.
