Summary
UNICEF chief Catherine Russell condemned the killing of nearly 50 children in Israeli air strikes on Gaza over two days, stating that such violence should shock the world but is largely met with indifference. She highlighted the severe humanitarian crisis affecting over 1 million children in the region, who face starvation and lack access to essential resources. The ongoing Israeli offensive, which has resulted in over 53,000 Palestinian deaths since October 7, 2023, has led to war crime charges against Israeli leaders at international courts.
