Transcript
00:00Yes, I came from Gaza City on foot. I left at 5 a.m. to provide a bit of food for my family
00:09and it turned out to be for nothing. Look, they're firing and shooting at us.
00:17Starvation and lack of food have made me come here. There is no flour or sugar or cooking oil
00:22or anything. I came in my brother and friend and neighbours, but we have received nothing.
00:26We are returning empty-handed. The children who are crying at home and wanting flour,
00:30we can't provide for them. Famine and starvation have killed us and we can't do anything.
00:35Where are we supposed to go?
00:39We want food. We are hungry. We are hungry. Our children are dying of starvation. We are all
00:45dizzy. We can't stand or sleep or do anything. Who is supposed to bring me aid? I don't have
00:51anyone to bring me aid. I want to eat with my children. We don't have anything.
00:56My children, they are breaking me down because I can't provide for them. We the adults can
01:04bear it, but the children are crying, telling you, Daddy, I want to eat. I'm hungry. What
01:08can you do for them? You can't provide your own food. And these are children. They don't
01:13understand.
01:21Why did I come here? I haven't had flour for two months. My children haven't eaten bread
01:28for four days. I swear to God, they have been sleeping hungry for four days. Why are things
01:34like this? Why don't they bring the place closer to us? I don't like this mechanism. This is begging.
01:42People killed each other and some of them steal the other. This is barbarism. This has never
01:47happened before in Gaza. I came a long distance in order not to steal or vandalize to get the aid like
01:57everyone else because our homes don't have flour, sugar or anything. If I don't risk my life all this
02:04distance, I won't bring anything from food for my family. We don't have flour, sugar, food, gas or wood.
02:12I traveled a long distance from Musayirat all the way till here and I didn't get anything.
