The Unicef has called the scenes of “carnage” coming out from Gaza’s Jabalia camp, which has been hit by Israeli strikes for two days in a row, “horrific and appalling”.

“Refugee camps, settlements for the internally displaced, and the civilians inhabiting them are all protected under international humanitarian law (IHL). Parties to conflict have an obligation to respect and protect them from attack.

“Children have endured too much already. The killing and captivity of children must stop. Children are not a target,” it said in a statement.
