World lost ‘moral compass’ on Gaza, deputy UN chief says
The international community has lost its “moral compass” on war-ravaged Gaza, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed says.
“For me, of great concern is that we have lost our moral compass on Gaza, as a humanity, as the international community,” Mohammed tells a news conference.
“We need to do something about that fast — we’re late,” she adds. “There are thousands of children that continue to lose their lives, that live amputated. There are hundreds that we are waiting to come home, hostages.”
