I Went to a US-Backed "Aid" Site In Gaza. It Was Hell on Earth.
Briefly

Residents of Gaza express deep mistrust towards aid distribution controlled by Israeli-American entities due to past abuses. Faced with dire hunger, they reluctantly decide to seek assistance despite fears. They confront dangerous conditions, including theft and violence on the way to a distribution point that resembles a military checkpoint. Once at the site, they experience a dehumanizing process, walking in long lines like prisoners, and find themselves deeply disturbed by the chaos and disorder, realizing how far removed the aid effort is from genuine humanitarian assistance.
We simply don't trust them. Not America, not Israel. How can anyone trust the same people who kill us to feed us?
We have nothing to lose. Any outcome is better than listening to our children cry from hunger.
But we kept walking-until we realized this was the humanitarian aid point.
I wasn't just disappointed-I was deeply disturbed.
