Khaled Muhammad Farid Abdullah, the Jordanian citizen, did not know that his short visit to the Gaza Strip to attend the wedding of his brother’s daughter will turn into a coercive residence in a war and famine, in which he does not find anything that blocks his breath, and does not have a way to return to his family in Jordan.

Khaled tells Al -Jazeera Net, and he seemed to him signs of wasting and fatigue, that he arrived in Gaza a few days before the outbreak of the Israeli war, while he was preparing for a simple family joy, everything suddenly turned.

Today, Khaled lives in the northern displacement camp, without a fixed shelter or a source of food, and suffers from severe illusion due to lack of food. He says that he is no longer able to walk for a few steps, while his family communicates with him from Jordan without finding a way to get him out of Gaza.

Khaled quotes his observations about the situation in the sector, stressing that the tragedy he lives is not individual, but rather extends to more than two million people who suffer from hunger and lack of all the ingredients of life.

He also talked about horrific incidents that accompanied the inhabitants’ attempts to obtain aid, including an run over an accident of a child who was killed under the wheels of the relief truck, and his body was transferred to his mother inside bags, in a scene that he says is not erased from memory.

At the end of his testimony, Khaled made a humanitarian call to the world, in which he appealed to the international bodies and the media to do their power to reveal the size of the humanitarian catastrophe witnessed in the sector, and to open the crossings to save the stranded.

Khaled, who entered Gaza with joy at a wedding, is now a face of starvation and letdown, and stuck in the tents of displacement, without food or hope.
