Yusri al-Ghoul, a displaced Palestinian novelist had this to say:
“What happened today [in the] morning … I went to that area like thousands of Palestinians to get the aid, but unfortunately we come back with martyrs, with innocents who were killed by the Israeli tanks and snipers,” al-Ghoul said. “They sniped in front of me tens of Palestinians … they targeted their heads, elbows and knees.”
“Unfortunately, our blood is very cheap.”
Dear President Biden, please call for a ceasefire immediately.
