I raised again the need to establish a scheme to evacuate seriously injured Palestinian children from Gaza for treatment in our country. We introduced a scheme for Ukrainian children & to extend that scheme to children from Gaza would be a small but important act of humanity.

The Israeli Ambassador has historically rejected Palestinian statehood aspirations, supporting a Greater Israel. She described the 1948 Nakba as “an Arab lie” & when told she was making “an argument for destroying the whole of Gaza,” she replied, “do you have another solution?”.

Such a distressing report to help compile: On the rise of terrible skin diseases afflicting Gaza's war ravaged population, esp. young children Israel is accused of using access to humanitarian aid as a weapon, it denies that Feat @CNN__Org & footage from local journalists

I am appalled that Israel keeps targeting schools in Gaza — where thousands of displaced people are sheltering — with indiscriminate strikes. My heart goes out to the loved ones of all victims, including the UN aid workers who were tragically killed. Schools and humanitarian workers must never be targets. There must be accountability for violations of international law, and there must be a ceasefire now.
Just Tragic. #Gaza Six @UNRWA colleagues killed today when two airstrikes hit a school and its surroundings in Nuseirat in the middle areas. This is the highest death toll among our staff in a single incident. Among those killed was the manager of the UNRWA shelter and other team members providing assistance to displaced people. Sincere condolences to their families and loved ones. This school has been hit five times since the war began. It is home to around 12,000 displaced people, mainly women and children. No one is safe in Gaza No one is spared. Schools and other civilian infrastructure must be protected at all times, they are not a target. We call on all parties to the conflict to never use schools or the areas around them for military or fighting purposes. #CeasefireNOW

“I’ve seen more incinerated children than I’ve ever seen in my entire life combined.” - Dr. Mark Perlmutter on his medical mission in Gaza. Today, UNICEF published that since October 2023, one Palestinian child has been killed every 2 days.

With the outpouring horror in Gaza, one doesn't need to be a medical professional to empathize with these doctors' feelings. Enraged at the incessant brutality used against defenseless civilians. Offended at the flimsy justifications made up to cover for int'l crimes. Incapable to hear anyone's excuses anymore. Desperate for change, and accountability.
“It haunts us in our dreams.” Gaza doctors speak at the DNC with @UncommittedMvmt and beg the world to listen. “It’s the feeling that we have no ability to get the most powerful country in the world to stop the bombs.”

As expected, the number of martyrs from Al-Tabi'een School massacre is growing, as three of the injured who were hospitalised at Ahli Arab Hospital in #Gaza and had burns covering more than 60% of their body area have died so far due to a lack of capabilities to deal with these cases, such as intensive care and isolation to avoid infection.

Additionally, more than 17,000 children have been left unaccompanied or separated from their parents. Last week, we appealed to evacuate Sadil’s mother from Gaza so she could join her in Egypt during the crucial stages of her recovery.
