Ice Cream Truck of Death
1992 - Present
Artist Notes
ICE CREAM TRUCK OF DEATH At the backyard of the hospitals you wouldn’t help but notice ice-cream trucks parked next to the morgue, but why? It’s summer time, shouldn’t they be driving across town distributing ice-cream? It’s summer time, The kids all over the world are just done with exams, celebrating summer vocation. And what’s summer without kids begging their parents for pennies as they rush after the ice-cream truck as it jingles down the street. And who doesn’t love ice-cream? Well,,,, In Gaza, you won’t see a child chasing any of these trucks. In fact, one might fear the day they would stand before them as they open up their containers. As you know the death rate could go up to hundreds a day, and the hospitals morgue has the limited capacity of only 12 corpses. No morgue on earth would be able to keep up with such high rate, specially with the corpses being left for days as they wait for someone to come identify them, if there is someone left to come. And in such hot weather, if left alone, these corpses would rot so fast, not only the smell would reek all over the place, it would attract stray animals.
