A father in Gaza who lost his one-and-a-half-year-old child to Israeli bombing says he blames the US and Arab countries for his suffering, Al Jazeera reports.

“This is a crime in which everyone participated. The US veto participated in this crime as did those Arabs and Muslims who failed to support us,” Abdul Rahman Juma’a said.

An elderly member of the Abu al-Nour family also chided Arab countries.

“People who are from another sect at the end of the world have stood by us better than Arabs,” he said.

Another man, Abdul Karim Abu Mustafa, said his nephews who were killed were not guilty of anything.

“They were sitting on the beach of Khan Younis at night, presumably in a safe area, when they were attacked. They are three children. … They are not guilty,” Mustafa said.
