Video of little Palestinian girl carrying wounded sister on her shoulder sparks anger against Israeli atrocities

A heartbreaking video of a young girl in Gaza walking barefoot while carrying her injured sister on her shoulder toward the Al-Bureij refugee camp sparked outrage online over the suffering of Palestinian children amid the Israeli military offensive.

Journalist Mohammad Magadli, who spotted the distressed girl and her sister in the scorching sun, shared the video on social media.

When Magadli asked why she was carrying her sibling on her shoulder, the young girl explained that her sister had been hit by a car, and she was taking her to the hospital for treatment.

She had been carrying her sister like this for an hour and told the reporter that she was exhausted.

Magadli then gave the girls a ride to the Al-Bureij camp, where they got out of the car, and the girl once again carried her sister to her camp or the treatment center.

British journalist Jonathan Cook expressed his thoughts at the plight of Palestinian children, saying, "Many years ago, I visited Auschwitz (concentration camp operated by Nazi Germany), and a photo of a young girl staring at me from a wall broke my world."

"This short video just broke my world all over again," he added.

Netizens expressed their anger over the video, with many stating that the children's ordeal reflects how severely the Israeli onslaught has devastated the lives of Palestinians in Gaza.

They are forced to carry their wounded loved ones on animal carts and private vehicles, as ambulances are insufficient to handle the overwhelming number of people affected by the horrific Israeli attacks.

The overall Palestinian death toll since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza has reached at least 43,362 with more than 99,795 wounded. Thousands more remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
