Bombardment, killing, and devastation persist, and amidst it all, the Israeli occupying forces impose a blockade on the Gaza Strip, cutting off essential supplies of food, medicine, and fuel to its inhabitants.
The fuel shortage crisis has driven the residents of Gaza to revert to primitive means of transportation, including “Karo” carts. These wooden carts, hauled by donkeys, mules, or horses, may help to alleviate suffering by meeting some basic needs.
Simultaneously, some individuals have capitalized on these carts as a source of income by transporting passengers and goods, given the limited feasibility of relying on cars.
These carts serve to transport people and their necessities and also aid in moving the injured and evacuating martyrs. The situation has reached a tragic point where, since the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza began on October 7th, the number of martyrs has exceeded 24,000, with around 62,000 injuries, according to Palestinian authorities and the United Nations. Additionally, more than 85% of the sector’s inhabitants (approximately 1.9 million people) have been displaced.
A few days after the war on Gaza erupted, the Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant decided to impose a comprehensive blockade on Gaza. An Israeli Channel 13 report quoted him saying, “No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel” will reach the sector.
