Zein Oroq’s death turns focus once again on human cost of six months of violence, food shortages and malnutrition in Gaza

Ali Oroq’s grandson Zein died from his injuries after he was hit by an aid package airdropped on Gaza.Ali Oroq’s grandson Zein died from his injuries after he was hit by an aid package airdropped on Gaza.

Last week, during an airdrop of aid, Zein was struck by one of the packages as he rushed to try to get a can of fava beans, some rice or flour. The grandfather, standing by a large pool of wastewater, recalled how Zein would swim in a pond to get a meal from the air drops, and how he should have been at school instead.“While parachutes were falling, an aid box hit his head. Also, the stampede of people who were heading towards the box did not pay attention to the boy – they were also hungry,” said his father Mahmoud.

The war in Gaza began when Hamas militants attacked Israel on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking more than 200 hostage, according to Israeli tallies.
