Starving women, men and children in Gaza are fighting for food, ignoring death

Starving women, men and children in Gaza are fighting for food, ignoring death. The reason is that Israeli forces shoot and kill Palestinians one after another like a ‘Russian roulette game’ whenever they go to receive relief. The question arises—what if the ceasefire does not solve the aid crisis in Gaza? It is because of this crisis that Hamas has sought changes to the proposed ceasefire, so that aid can enter and the Israeli-US-backed ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ (GHF) be closed—at whose gates Israel kills people waiting to receive aid every day. Since Israel broke the ceasefire last March, Gazans have been living in fear of when the bombing is less in various areas, including northern Gaza, and when the roads are open. Gaza has now become a dark world of hunger, fear and death. People know that they can die if they go near the trucks, but they still go—because it is better to die fighting than to die of hunger. However, how much suffering and patience do the people of Gaza have left? When will the world look at the people of Gaza? When will there be a permanent ceasefire?
