Humanity will not die

The children of Gaza lined up on the beach, carrying flowers and wearing shirts with a picture of the Syrian child Alan Kurdi, who was found dead on a European beach after drowning while trying to migrate with his family.

Their shirts also had a picture of Ali Al-Dawabsheh, the Palestinian child who was burned alive by settlers in the West Bank, and whose mother died yesterday from her wounds and whose father died days before.

These numerous crimes frighten the children, while the international community sees these crimes and does nothing. They are facing a merciless enemy and human rights institutions that do nothing but condemn government inaction. Ultimately, the children of Gaza are demanding their rights and the rights of the children of the world who were victims of war.

Aylan’s body was sculpted into the sand on Gaza’s beach and the children put flowers on it in order to gain the attention of the world. Perhaps the world will take action and rescue the children of war.
