Welcome to Gaza, where hunger isn’t just a word, it’s a daily nightmare! Twelve-year-old Mohamed, whose story shook the world, literally eats sand because there’s no food. Yes, you read that right — sand! All thanks to chaotic aid distribution and violence choking every survival attempt.
Imagine a kilo of tomatoes costing around 25 euros, while Mohamed and his family barely get enough flour to bake a flatbread. His mother bakes bread in a makeshift oven, and his father, with a broken leg, can’t help. Mohamed is sick, had part of his lung removed, and hasn’t been to school for 21 months.
Aid arrives, but it’s a mess. Food trucks are often hijacked by armed clans, and distribution centers open only occasionally. In northern Gaza, where Mohamed lives, the situation is even worse — local groups try to help, but it’s not enough.
The Israeli army shoots almost daily at people seeking help, and accusations against the military mostly go unanswered. Mohamed dreams of peace, going back to school, living without fear of being killed. But the war drags on, along with hunger, despair, and death.
This story isn’t just about one boy. It’s about thousands of innocents suffering due to disorganized aid, violence, and political games. Think this is far from you? Think again. The world watches, but few act. And Mohamed? He still eats sand because he has no choice.
If this story broke your heart or pissed you off, you’re not alone. Share your thoughts, spin your theories, or just drop a sarcastic comment — let’s hear the voice of those who can’t even choose what to eat.
