A sad picture in Gaza.

A sad picture of this reality.

This is the Gaza that was a city.

The comparison between Gaza today

and Gaza before October seventh and after October seventh.

I stand here, sad.

I stand here, seeing nothing but this ruin.

As far as the eye can see, this ruin and this destruction.

And this desperate situation.

And these people who are looking for someone to protect them.

The Palestinian people.

And I say this here, above Khan Younis.

As I stand above Khan Younis,

I had hoped my first visit

would be for development, for building, for reconstruction.

To establish the state.

But my first visit is to drop this aid.

To deliver this aid.

I believe the picture is more eloquent than any words.

These houses are no more.

I always used to enjoy seeing cities from above, from the plane.

Now, how awful.
