Sky News’ Sharri Markson has accused the ABC of bias after a leaked email showed a key detail was omitted from the broadcaster’s report on a child who went missing while seeking aid in Gaza.

In a radio interview aired in August, a former security contractor – turned whistleblower – for UG Solutions told the ABC he had witnessed a group of Palestinians inadvertently walk into gunfire from Israel Defence Force troops at an aid site managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

He claimed a young boy, named Amir, had been among those caught and killed in the crossfire, saying he had subsequently spoken to the boy’s mother who confirmed her son had been missing for weeks – although he acknowledged no body had been found.

“It was very hard to share that story with her, to tell her that her son was, most likely, from what I saw, dead,” the former contractor said.

Markson, however, said the report had omitted a key detail about Amir’s disappearance.

In a leaked email sent to the GHF seeking comment on the story an ABC correspondent outlined the contractor’s claims on behalf of a colleague working on the interview, but added the missing boy’s “adoptive mother” had told the broadcaster she did not believe her son had been killed.

“She told us she believes he was taken by American contractors and fed and cared for because he was in a bad state when he attended the aid site,” the email said.

That detail was left out of the ABC’s report, which Markson claimed demonstrated bias against the GHF – established by Israel and the United States to provide aid to Gazans in place of the United Nations.

The organisation has faced repeated accusations of violence on and near its aid sites, including claims Palestinians were being deliberately targeted by security forces.

Both the GHF and UG Solutions have rejected the former security contractor’s account and have claimed he was “terminated for misconduct”.

According to a separate email seen by Markson, the former also contacted the ABC in September, claiming they had located Amir alive and well.

Responding to GHF’s request to do a follow up on the story, the same ABC correspondent suggested such a report was unlikely to air.

“As you pointed out, there were some inconsistencies and elements of the story which could not be verified. Consequently, I’m not sure if we will cover this new development as we did not cover the initial allegations, but I’ve emailed my editors about it,” the email said.

An editor’s note was subsequently added to the ABC’s digital story containing the original interview.

“About one month after this interview, media reports emerged that ‘Amir’ had been found alive following a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation investigation,” the note read.
