GazaOn June 11, the 19 -year -old, the 19 -year -old, left his house east of a city Gaza He went to the “Nabulsi” area near Natsarim axisIt is controlled Israeli occupation army In the middle of the sector.
Muhammad did not carry a weapon, and he was not going to a combat mission, but only sought to obtain a flour bag that brings him to his hunger family, as is the case of hundreds of thousands of families in Gaza. From that moment, its effect has disappeared.
“He was not looking for more than the flour, he was only a sick young man suffering from neurological disorders and needed regular treatment in the morning and evening, otherwise he would have painful spasms.”
She added, “Since his departure, we have not found an effect, neither between the wounded, nor on the lists of martyrs, not even in hospital records, my brother is not a fighter, and he did not commit a crime, only he wanted to feed us.”
The story of Muhammad is one of dozens of tragic stories from what is known as the “missing aid” phenomenon in the Gaza Strip, a worsening humanitarian phenomenon, which is parallel to the numbers of the victims who died while trying to reach food distribution points, in a controversial American-Israeli plan.
tragedy
The tragedy of the distribution of American-Israeli aid inside Gaza is not limited to the fall of the martyrs and the wounded, but rather extends to the loss of dozens of citizens, and the government authorities in Gaza say that forces Israeli occupation During the past three weeks, 450 Palestinians were killed, 3466 others were injured, while 39 people are still missing after they left in search of food.
The roots of this tragedy go back to May 27, when Israel began implementing a aid distribution plan through a company called “Gaza Humanitarian CorporationWith the support of who WashingtonDespite the refusal United Nations And a number of international relief organizations deal with it, considering it an unsafe mechanism, and does not meet the minimum conditions for humanitarian relief.
The matter was worse after Israel closed, since last March, all the crossings leading to the Strip, which caused the collapse of the humanitarian situation, the spread of hunger and lack of Food security Among the population.
We are missing without trace
Abdul Rahman Amara, 20, is another young man who left his home north of Gaza City on June 9, heading south towards a aid distribution point in the middle of the Strip, and has not been no longer since then.
“We went and did not hear anything about him, there is no communication or trace, my mother and my father live under the weight of the murderer,” his brother, Youssef, told Al -Jazeera Net.
He added, “He did not go to a battle, but rather a long queue from the hungry, so why is this his fate?
Declined
In a scene that reflects the depth of the tragedy, the father of Abd al -Rahman Hamdan regained the body of his son after 11 days of research. The 19 -year -old, the young man left the Maghazi camp towards the Netsarim point on June 10 to obtain food aid, but he was no longer.
“Every day I used to mark a paper that I stuck in his room, until I reached 11, and the next day we received the painful news,” his father told Al -Jazeera Net. Abdul Rahman’s body was found in a state of decomposition, and was identified through his clothes torn with shrapnel of an Israeli shell.
Despite the enormity of the situation, the father says that he felt comfortable to know the fate of his son, adding, “My son was not carrying a weapon, he wanted a flour bag, with any law targeting a tank shell?
Death traps
The number of missing persons is increasing day by day, according to Ghazi Al -Majdalawi, head of the Palestinian Center for Missing and forcibly disappeared (a non -governmental institution). “We received dozens of reports about the disappearances of citizens who left their homes towards the distribution points and did not return,” he told Al -Jazeera Net.
He adds that the absence of a safe environment for the distribution of aid and the continued attacks in the vicinity of those points raises questions about whether some of them were targeted, arrested, or even killing, noting the difficulty of field documentation and the recovery of the bodies in light of the complex security reality.
In an official comment, the Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, said, “What is happening at the distribution points of American-Israeli aid is a tragic human scene, in which hunger turns into a tight bloody trap.”
He adds to Al -Jazeera Net that “distribution centers are not relief centers, but rather death traps, the occupation is used as part of a deliberate plan to target civilians, in open military areas that are fired directly at the crowd.”
The constants stress that the catastrophe is not limited to those who have lost their lives, but also affects those who are still missing, and their families who live in a fragile hope in the absence of any information.
The Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza believes that the continuation of this approach reveals a systematic policy to prolong the aggression against Gaza, break the will of its people, and strike their societal fabric under the cover of “false humanitarian”.
