Aid is a death trap

All international, Arab and regional mediations have failed to stop the war, or even to break the siege and bring in food, drink and medicine. All the efforts being made have so far been unable to stop the flow of blood and the expansion of the killing and destruction. The occupation is expanding its bloody operations and threatening more. The ugliness of the killing we are seeing has surpassed all limits, and the crimes we have witnessed have gone beyond the description of genocide. There is no word to describe the brutality of the crimes being committed with indescribable ugliness, such as people being taken to safe areas and then bombed, or people gathering in front of food distribution centers and then being bombed, or people seeking treatment in hospitals and then being bombed.

The bombing has reached everything. The machine of crime and killing knows no bounds. It has broken all taboos, transgressed human norms, and disregarded all laws and regulations. It continues its endless war, killing without hesitation and expanding the circle of destruction to encompass everything in Gaza.

The hungry go to get a loaf of bread, and then the bombing comes with premeditation to kill them, so they die of hunger and thirst, and the world, with its international and legal institutions, does not move to stop these crimes that they witness in sound and image, and in many scenes that have become a stain on the world’s forehead, especially whenever we see a child dying of hunger, and whenever the planes come and bomb the lines of the hungry at the distribution centers that were set up days ago, and the occupation claimed that they were safe areas, then returned and bombed them at a moment when people were waiting for a loaf of bread.

Scenes of people in Gaza, the reality of hunger and the intensifying siege, the killing and death machine that is mercilessly claiming human lives, and the world remains shamelessly silent. How can the world sleep while children are buried under the rubble? Hungry and thirsty children? How can the slogans of international justice be raised when they have fallen so resoundingly during this genocide?

The occupation's alleged aid distribution plans are a continuation of its war of extermination and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. It deliberately gathers people in areas it claims are safe, and before they receive food and medicine, planes arrive and bomb them. This is an unprecedented form of immorality and brutality that hunts down innocents to kill them by all means. The extremist government's calculations have one goal: to continue the war, kill people, and commit more massacres and slaughters.

"Hunger is an infidel." O world that stands silently by, O world that claims to be civilized, advanced, and democratic, how can you sleep while the children of Gaza are hungry and thirsty, under bombardment and siege, without shelter, sleeping on the ground and seeking the sky for cover?
