Let me tell you something that just happened to me. I received the heartbreaking news that my cousin was injured — the only son in his family, after his father had passed away. He went to the site where American aid was being distributed, hoping to bring back something to feed his starving family. Every time he thought of going there, his mother would beg him not to — terrified something might happen to him. He is all she has left. But hunger was tearing through their bodies, threatening to kill the entire family. So this time, he left without telling her. He couldn’t bear to watch his family starve any longer. When he arrived, he waited for hours under the scorching sun, hoping the aid trucks would come. Finally, they arrived. He rushed to the spot where the food was being distributed. He began gathering some food into a bag, something small enough to carry over long distances. And then — out of nowhere — planes opened fire on the crowd. A heavy, direct shower of bullets. He was shot — in the eye and in the leg. He collapsed, blood pouring from his wounds, everything he had collected for his family left behind. A group of people rushed him to the hospital, where he received emergency treatment. After his condition stabilized, he was brought back home. His mother saw him and fainted instantly from fear and shock. When she woke up, she held his hand, sobbing uncontrollably, and kept repeating: “I told you not to go… we don’t need food… why did you go?” She said it again and again, broken with grief. And he replied, through tears: “Mom… we were going to die from hunger if I didn’t go…” Then he broke down completely, crying in pain and anguish, saying: “Oh God… this was the first time I went out to save my family… why did this happen to me?” Now, he lies on the bed — sad, angry, unable to move. He needs someone to feed him. Someone to treat him. He went out to save his family from hunger, Now he’s the one waiting to be saved. Imagine the pain. The helplessness. The agony he’s living through. We are being tortured in the most vile, inhumane ways — one after another. Damn this world… a world that has grown so cruel, it defies description.💔
