In a shocking revelation, the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated into what experts are calling a global scandal. Thousands of aid seekers, primarily children, are being killed daily as they flock to distribution sites, desperate for assistance. Professor Sammy Alaran, a prominent public affairs expert, has condemned the situation, stating that the number of Palestinian children killed has reached a staggering 20,000 since the conflict reignited in October 2023. This figure starkly contrasts with the reported numbers, which he claims grossly underestimate the reality on the ground.
Alaran emphasizes that these killings are not mere collateral damage but a targeted assault, with reports of snipers deliberately aiming for children. “What we are witnessing in Gaza is unprecedented,” he declared, highlighting that the death toll far exceeds that of other global crises. While countries like Haiti and Somalia report fewer than 300 child deaths annually, Gaza sees that number every week.
Despite claims of impending ceasefire negotiations, Alaran remains skeptical. He argues that Israeli policies show no signs of changing, with aid continuously blocked and civilians facing starvation. Over two million Palestinians have been deprived of basic necessities for over 100 days, and every attempt to access aid has resulted in further bloodshed.
In a critical moment, former President Donald Trump’s recent comments have added fuel to the fire, but Alaran dismisses them as mere political theatrics. He warns that without significant pressure from the U.S. on Israel, the massacre will continue unabated. The world watches as the humanitarian disaster unfolds, and the urgent call for action grows louder.
