Know more about the story of the owner of the Egyptian “orange”
The video of the orange seller has become a popular content on social media sites in Egypt and other countries, after a video clip was circulated showing an Egyptian man who owns a “fruit stand” throwing oranges from his small “stand” onto relief trucks heading towards Gaza in Palestine.
The reason for the popularity of this video is due to its poignant content, and the extent to which the marginalized simple class is genuinely affected by the events, including the current events in Gaza.
The movement made by the orange seller may seem simple on the surface, but it indicates a human depth and expresses, in a poignant and symbolic way, human solidarity, cohesion, and human feeling in its deepest form, even if the simple man only shared a few pieces of oranges to reach the people of the city with the relief materials to Gaza, but it gave a symbolic image of moral and humanitarian commitment as a necessity in societies, especially societies that witness war and conflicts and in which there is a human tragedy.
Perhaps the humanitarian scene would be complete before us if we learned through the statements of the orange seller with rural features, who, as mentioned in the pictures and videos, is from Al-Said region in Egypt , that he brought this quantity of oranges to sell them and make a living from them, and that he has not yet paid their value to the merchant, and that he has accumulated debts. He must pay it soon.
The man who forgot that he was indebted to the merchant, at that moment thought only of his human values, the values whose survival is necessary in the solidarity of societies!
