New Year's Resolution for Gaza's children: Eat well and stay alive
These refugee children, who have fled to southern Gaza to escape Israeli air strikes, are often fed as little as a loaf of bread for a full day. The New Year is approaching, and their wish is not to get new toys, not to go to the playground, but to have a full meal.

The video was filmed at the Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza, which is essentially the only "lifeline" for Gaza's 2.2 million people, through which supplies from Egypt are transported. There are always long lines of trucks waiting to pass. But on the 24th, dozens of trucks were hampered by large, desperate crowds as they delivered aid in Gaza. We can see from this video that hundreds of people jumped on trucks and tried to grab anything they could get their hands on. It really looks like a crazy snatch. There were also sudden gunshots at the scene, and we don't know who fired the shot, how it started, and why. It was a very chaotic scene, people were so hungry, so desperate, so desperate to grab what they could.
