UNICEF: ‘Those in power have decided killing of children will recommence’ in Gaza
The UN children’s agency UNICEF condemns the resumption of fighting in Gaza, saying: “Today, those in power have decided that the killing of children would recommence.”
Spokesman James Elder says the “dire” state of health, nutrition, water and sanitation threatens to trigger “a disaster of unparalleled magnitude for the children of Gaza.
“To accept the sacrifice of the children in Gaza is humanity giving up,” he tells the Geneva briefing via video-link from the Palestinian enclave.
"There was a bomb 15 minutes from here," said UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder from Al-Naser Hospital in Gaza, on the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. pic.twitter.com/IKv0Q6uHky
