The article questions the genuine intentions behind U.S. aid to Gaza amidst the ongoing conflict. It portrays the dire situation faced by Palestinians, as they risk their lives for basic food supplies amidst an Israeli military presence. On May 27, families who had journeyed long distances for aid encountered lethal force from Israeli soldiers, resulting in deaths and injuries. The piece emphasizes the desperate conditions in Gaza, where hunger has become a weapon, and fear drives parents to seek food for their starving children despite the threats to their safety.
On May 27, it distributed what it called "aid," with U.S. assistance. During the so-called aid distribution, Palestinians who had walked long distances searching for basic food supplies were killed by the Israeli military.
Hunger - a weapon Israel has deliberately used against civilians - has forced many families to take the risk, especially after several children in the Strip have starved to death.
Thousands gathered at the aid point. A friend of my father told him, "I walked 10 kilometers on foot, exhausted and starving, but I did it for my little children."
On May 27, after these families finally arrived, the Israeli army opened fire on civilians scrambling for food. Three were killed, 46 wounded.
