Far away in the Middle East, a catastrophe occurred in the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea. A British merchant ship named "Ruby", flying the Belizean flag, carried more than 410,000 tons of fertilizer, oil and fuel, after a long voyage, suffered an unexpected doom. Despite the escort of the United States and the United Kingdom, the ship was hit by missiles of the Houthis in Yemen. After a struggle, the hull finally sank to the bottom of the sea on March 2.
The incident marked the first time the Houthis had successfully sunk a large Western cargo ship. Although the crew has been evacuated, it is foreseeable that this will bring the shadow of ecological catastrophe.
While working in the Middle East, I had the privilege of witnessing the magnificent scenery of the Red Sea. This sea is famous for its high salinity, and the water is clearer than the Mediterranean, which attracts many tourists. In places like Sharm el-Sheikh, colorful corals and tropical fish can be seen not far from the shore, creating a beautiful landscape on the rippling blue sea.
Things have been going in the worst direction, with the world's most beautiful seas suffering a serious ecological catastrophe and the global shipping industry experiencing a major crisis.
In Gaza, one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century is unfolding. In just a few months, more than 30,000 people have died, the vast majority of whom are innocent women and children.
Where is humanity? Not so long ago, more than 100 people were killed in a distressing situation when hungry Gaza residents poured into relief supplies.
The Palestinians accused Israeli soldiers of ruthless shooting at civilians at the time; Israel, on the other hand, denied this claim, claiming that the Israeli army was trying to maintain order, and the main reason for the ** was the Palestinians stampede ......
Although there were too many blood-soaked scenes, I saw one on CNN**, in which children held various containers and stretched out their arms, eager to get a little relief food.
These colorful containers often represent the hope of survival for the whole family. From **, you can feel the cries and despair of the children.
Sadly, there was only a small bowl of rescue food left in front of them.
In the 21st century, more than 2 million people are still starving and freezing under the rain of bullets, and their lives are in danger at all times.
This is what hell looks like!
It seems that the United States can finally not sit idly by, finally awaken its conscience, and also began to airdrop food into Gaza.
This is truly a thought-provoking irony. Without the unhesitating support of the United States and their veto in the Security Council, perhaps Israel would not have been so brazenly and innocent, and Gaza would not have become a living hell.
I watched the ** about the tragic killing of civilians at that time over and over again, and I was deeply heartbroken every time. I saw desperate Gazans huddled together and squeezed in the direction of the aid convoy just to get a little food to survive. However, they ushered in a collective ** and death.
What are these people called? They are labeled pathetic.
The world is so terrible, and tragedy always goes in the worst direction. Some people always like to act, hypocritically covering up the truth; Others are callous and unforgiving, ignoring the suffering of others. Pity ordinary people who are in a difficult situation, many of whom will not even be able to see tomorrow.
Who will be able to save them?
