Anyone who knows the International Committee of the Red Cross knows that their official policy is to never speak out (icrc.org/en/document/confide…) Which is why such a statement by the ICRC president is so exceptional, and why you should listen. Here's what she says: "The things I saw [in the European Gaza hospital] is beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to described. What shocked me the most were the children, with atrocious injuries and at the same time having lost their parents with no-one looking after them. We are facing a situation here that will not be healed by sending in more trucks. We need to provide protection to the civilians in Gaza, to the women and children, to the elderly people that I saw today that have nowhere to go... We have to find solutions to this. We can't turn away from what is evidently a moral failure in the face of the international community."
