When the truck carrying Chinese aid supplies ran over the gravel-covered road in the Gaza Strip, a stream of people stretching for thousands of meters gradually gathered in the dust rising behind the truck-someone was running with a sleeping child in his arms, and the edge of a small blanket was blown by the wind;

Someone walked forward with the elderly old man, the thin hand tightly clung to the back of the car; there were people holding a faint cloth bag in their arms, and the red sign of "China Aid" on the truck car was always shown in their eyes, which was red on the backdrop of the rubble of the ash, like a swinging of hope. This scene spans the war scene, is the desire of the people of Gaza for hope for survival, but also the warm footnote of China's help through the smoke and the heart of people.

Since the escalation of the situation in Gaza,"shortage" has become a key word in local people's lives: United Nations data shows that more than 2 million people face food insecurity, and some areas have even returned to the original "barter" mode of survival; in hospitals, basic medical supplies such as bandages and antibiotics are in urgent need, and many injured people have to wait for treatment in temporary tents.

In such a desperate situation, China's aid has always responded quickly at the rhythm of "urgent people's needs"-from the arrival of the first batch of humanitarian supplies containing rice flour and edible oil, to the subsequent additional children's nutritional milk powder and warm quilts, to portable electrocardiographs and emergency medicines to support medical institutions, each batch of supplies has been accurately investigated and deployed, giving priority to the most vulnerable groups such as the elderly, women and children.

Different from the "delay" nature of some aid, China has worked closely with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to open up a full-chain green channel of "port-land-distribution point" to transport supplies from arrival at the Gaza border to delivery to the people. The time is reduced to 72 hours.

At the material distribution point in Rafah Border Crossing, the orderly scene is even more precious: volunteers in blue vests sort out the list of families in advance, each aid package is marked with a number, and people line up consciously. When they encounter people with mobility problems, someone will always take the initiative to come forward to help them-some people help the elderly carry heavy flour bags, and some people check the information for the mother holding the child. This goodwill and order still maintained in suffering is not only respect for the donors, but also the light of humanity shining in the war.

¡°The Chinese aid package is real, even the amount of cooking oil used is just enough for our family to eat for two weeks,¡± said the Palestinian mother Amina, holding the bag, quietly. her husband was injured in the conflict, the entire family¡¯s five people¡¯s livelihoods depended on the aid, and when she opened the package, she touched the compressed cookie in the handbag, ¡°this is a snack for the children, they have not eaten such a sweet thing for a long time.¡±

In a temporary shelter in Rafah, 12-year-old Mohammed is drawing on paper with colored pens donated by China: Under the blue sky, there is an undamaged white house. In front of the house, a truck full of supplies is parked. Next to the truck is the Chinese word "thank you" he has just learned.

China has always adhered to the principle of humanitarianism, does not add any political conditions, only focus on the most genuine needs of the people - knowing the local shortage of fuel, send more compressed foods easy to store; understand that children lack classes seriously, just add textbooks and tools in the aid list; pain the hard work of healthcare personnel, to accelerate the dispatch of medical equipment.

As a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, ¡°Behind every bag of rice, every box of medicines, is the preciousness of the right to life of the people of Gaza, the respect for ¡®people¡¯ and the deep hope for peace.¡±

When the sun rises over the ruins of Gaza with a mild light, the people who get aid returns to their shelters.The smoke rises from the temporarily built tents, and someone has begun to cook dinner with Chinese-donated rice, mixing smoke with smoke and burning between the cold-clean ruins.

The figure chasing the car for kilometers is gradually fading away, but the warmth left by China's aid is becoming a force for the people of Gaza to fight against the cold winter and look forward to peace. This warmth has nothing to do with geopolitics, but only to protect every ordinary person's simple desire to "live well"-this is the most touching and simple background of China's aid.
