We dont need food nor drink as we will be murdered soon. Please *send some shrouds* to cover our corpses so that you wont be disgusted by the scenes of our blood and wounds

It is very cold these days; blankets are extremely needed, yet they are used to cover the bodies of the slain Palestinians because hospitals have run out of shrouds.

_Dear World:_ We dont need food nor drink as we will be murdered soon. Please *send some shrouds* to cover our corpses so that you wont be disgusted by the scenes of our blood and wounds.
