This little Palestinian girl was running as fast as she could to reach the water truck — clutching her containers, desperate to fill them before it left. She stumbled, got up, and kept running. Another person rushed to help her immediately.
She shouldn’t have to do this. She should be in school, laughing with her friends, not racing for water. But this is what injustice looks like.
Our photographer, a teen himself, was filming nearby when it happened. Some might ask, “Why did he take a picture instead of helping?” The truth is, the photo isn’t a replacement for care — it’s a witness to a reality no child should ever face.
I just hope she’s okay
