Bombardment, killing and destruction, and with all of that – also – a siege imposed by the Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip, preventing the people’s needs from reaching food, medicine and fuel.
The fuel scarcity crisis forced Gazans to return to relying on primitive means of transportation. Among them: “carrots,” wooden carts pulled by donkeys, mules, or horses. Perhaps they help alleviate suffering by fulfilling some needs.
At the same time, some people exploit it as a source of livelihood, by transporting passengers and goods, given that cars can only be relied upon a little.
These vehicles transport people and their needs, and also help in transporting the wounded and evacuating the martyrs, in light of a tragic situation in which the number of martyrs in the Israeli war on Gaza, which has been ongoing since the seventh of last October, has reached more than 24 thousand martyrs and about 62 thousand wounded. In addition to the displacement of more than 85% (about 1,900,000 people) of the Gaza Strip’s population, according to the Palestinian authorities and the United Nations.
Days after the outbreak of war on Gaza, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant decided to impose a comprehensive blockade on Gaza, saying, “No electricity, food, water, or fuel” (will reach the Strip), according to what was reported by Israeli Channel 13.
