Mohammed al-Masry says he goes to aid distribution points for the sake of Palestinian children
In Beit Lahia, north Gaza, hundreds of Palestinians are carrying bags of humanitarian aid.
“The way of aid distribution is very harmful and dangerous, but we go out for the sake of children, because a child cries, telling you: ‘Uncle, I want a loaf of bread’. It breaks your heart,” Mohammed al-Masry tells Reuters.
“It feels like a million knives into your heart, a million knives in your heart. We bring a bag of flour with a million deaths, but we go for the sake of the children.
“We are calling upon the Arab nations, we are calling upon the entire world, everyone with a consciousness, everyone with humanity, for God’s sake, have a look at these poor people,” says Mohammed.
“I swear to God, one dies a million deaths to get his family’s food. It is unfair.”
