ALBAWABA - In a video shared by the Quds News Network, a Palestinian man exposed the contents that Gazans are receiving from the US airdrop aid amid starvation and malnutrition from the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.  

The video had a caption on it saying "If you're wondering what's inside the airdrops, now you'll see. This is torturous more than its aid" as the Palestinian man showcased the components.  The man went on to add that he had to buy the what-so-called "free aid" but that "they have to buy it".

The contents consisted of crackers, apple sauce, bubble gum, an energy bar, French Vanilla, nuts, and peanut butter as he referred to it as "the worst meal he's ever had". He stated that he was hungry since he'd fasting all day because it's currently Ramadan.

This followed a plethora of comments from pro-Palestine activists and users alike as they voiced their opinions on the devastating matter:

"Amazing levels of arrogance and ingratitude."

"These MRE foods are what soldiers and firefighters eat in the field. It is self-heating and just add water. So without clean water, the main dish isn't edible."

"The issue here is, some food requires clean water and Gazans are even struggling to get that!"

Is that really food?"
