Aid distribution in Gaza faces severe challenges, where civilians like Raed Jamal risk their lives to obtain food in militarized zones. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's distribution sites operate briefly, creating a race for limited resources amidst threats from Israeli forces. The system is criticized by NGOs for prioritizing the strongest, resulting in fatalities. Leaders like Unrwa's Philippe Lazzarini label the distribution mechanism a deadly trap, while Jamal speaks of overcoming fear to provide for his children's survival amid dire conditions.
At every stage, those seeking aid pass Israeli tanks and troops, as quadcopters fly above.
The system favours the strongest, so it is mostly men who travel along the designated routes.
The so-called mechanism is a death trap costing more lives than it saves.
I have purged my hearts of fear. I need to bring food for my children so they don't die of hunger.
