12 PALESTINIANS DROWN TRYING TO GET AID
March 28, 202412 Palestinians have DROWNED attempting to retrieve aid that was air-dropped into the North of Gaza.
“The current was so strong, they didn’t know how to swim. It’s what you do when you have nothing left to lose.”
How desperate must one be that they jump into an ocean without knowing how to swim?
The outcome is almost inevitable.
These people are dying of FAMINE!
One Palestinian survivor said: “”A man goes swimming to get food for his children, he comes back dead. Bring us aid through the land crossings. Children are dying. We are dying!””
WHERE IS THE INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE ON ISRAEL TO OPEN THE BORDER CROSSINGS AND LET THE AID IN?
ENOUGH!

English Script:
Jomana Karadsheh Scott: As they spot a plane and the aid begins to drop, they run as fast as they can. It’s the rush of a people so desperate, so hungry who would do anything to feed their children now on the brink of starvation. This is what survival in Gaza has come to, fighting for food. That little bit of aid that makes it into the north where man-made famine now looms. People chased parachutes that fell into these choppy waters. It is desperation that drives them into the sea. What you are about to see next is disturbing. It’s the reality of a war growing more cruel by the day. The fastest the fittest emerged with boxes of American issued meals ready to eat. Others didn’t make it out alive. People gather around the thin, frail body of a man who drowned trying to reach that aid. 12 people drowned, according to paramedics. “The parachutes fell into the water”, Abu Mohammed says. “But people want to eat. They went into the water and drowned. The current was so strong, they didn’t know how to swim. It’s what you do when you have nothing left to lose”. “A man goes in swimming to get food for his children. He returns dead”. This man says, “Bring us aid through the land crossings. Our children are dying. We are dying. What are you doing? Where is the world?” The world has been piling up lifesaving aid into trucks stuck at land crossings, seemingly powerless in the face of Israel that’s accused of using starvation as a weapon in this war, a charge it denies, forcing the international community to resort to dropping aid from the sky. Several countries carried out aid drops on this day. Deliveries that have been criticized for being ineffective, insufficient and unsafe. But earlier this month, another airdrop disaster when a parachute failed in aid packages came crashing down, killing at least five people. It’s a war that’s testing humanity. And many say this is what failure looks like.
