Jasser died without a sound, his name never appearing on any news page.
Jasser Ali Al-Hayya, a young child, died after swallowing rat poison, the "blue gel," that had been spread between the tents without any warning to the families in the Mufti camp north of Nuseirat. His mother says someone came and threw the blue poison between the tents without telling anyone; her son thought it was a sweet, a piece of Turkish delight, and ate it, and no one knew what had happened until the forensic examination, when they opened him up and found the piece in his stomach exactly as it was.
This danger has also crept into Gaza's marketplaces, with the poison reaching people through traders selling goods from the commercial trucks the Israeli occupation has allowed in, raising a real need for awareness campaigns to warn families about what is circulating around them. How long will this negligence and contempt for people's lives continue? At the very least the families should have been warned and made aware. A child in a tent, displaced and already stripped of almost everything, killed by poison laid among the tents where children play, is one more life treated as worthless under a genocide that has made even the ground between the tents unsafe. May God grant patience and reward to the Al-Hayya family.
