‘We need to end to indiscriminate killing of children’ in Gaza: UNICEF

“As somebody who was on the ground and has spent a lot of time in hospitals in Gaza, including in Rafah, I saw the impact of this fighting on children’s bodies and it is horrific,” said UNICEF spokesperson Tess Ingram in an interview with US broadcaster ABC.“

I saw a nine-year-old girl who was clinging to life on a hospital bed in Rafah with major blast wounds down one side of her body, and when I met her, she had been that way 16 days because the medical ability in Gaza to repair those wounds was non-existent.”

“We need to see an end to the fighting and the indiscriminate killing of civilians, especially children.”
