NEW YORK, June 8, 2025 (WAFA) – The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) shared the testimony of a survivor of the deadly aid distribution in Gaza. The man, who supports a family of seven, recounted being forced to crawl for survival amid intense gunfire from Israeli occupation forces. He made an urgent plea to resume aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip via UNRWA.
“We spoke to people who survived the deadly Israeli-American aid distribution in Gaza,” UNRWA said in a post on X.
“Hungry people forced to crawl on the ground, surrounded by gunfire, desperately trying to secure food for their families, only to risk their lives and leave empty-handed.”
“We must return to delivering aid safely and at scale to all people in Gaza. The only way to do this is through the United Nations, including UNRWA,” the post added.
The man’s message said: “We arrived at 3:30 AM and waited for the signal to move forward... The gunfire was non-stop. We crawled on the ground until 4:45 AM, when the gunfire finally ended. People jumped up and started running. Many were injured as they ran. It was unlike anything I had ever seen.”
