To die by bullets is better than to die of hunger
An Al Jazeera report about the deadly shootings at US-Israeli aid distribution centres in Gaza describes them as “bait” being used to “lure” starving aid seekers in the “sport of hunting”.
At least 245 Palestinians have been killed while desperately trying to secure food parcels for their families from the US and Israeli-led food distribution centres, which have been branded as “human slaughterhouses” by UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese since they began operating on 27 May.
Al Jazeera reporter Majed Abdul Hadi says those who are complicit in the killings “deny their involvement when bullets are fired into their empty bellies and skulls cracked from extreme hunger”.
Abdul Hadi says desperate parents are left with no other choice but to risk their lives for aid and “crowd around the bait set out to trap them” as they watch their children starve “despite knowing full well that the hunters are poised to shoot”.
