Unicef spokesperson ‘furious’ over situation in Gaza

Gaza is “the most dangerous place in the world” for a child, the UN children’s agency spokesperson said, expressing his rage at the situation there after returning from the Palestinian territory, AFP reports.

“I’m furious that those with power shrug at the humanitarian nightmares unleashed on a million children,” Unicef spokesperson James Elder told a press briefing after spending nearly two weeks in Gaza.

He spoke of children having undergone amputations and who were then “killed in those hospitals” as the Israeli army bombardment of the Gaza Strip continues.
