Unicef spokesperson James Elder: ‘Adolescents in Gaza wish to be killed to end their nightmare’

While addressing the UN from Rafah on Tuesday, Unicef spokesperson James Elder described the situation in Gaza by saying that sleeping at night feels like “lying in a coffin” and that adolescents and teenage girls say they “hope to be killed” to “end their nightmare”.

Elder further emphasised that the the imminent famine in the north of Gaza is “man-made” and caused by restrictions imposed by Israel, and that Unrwa would be able to turn the humanitarian crisis around “in a matter of days” if it were allowed to use one of the old crossings in the north.

[bernadettedunn]

I am so sorry Gaza. Soon this will have to end. And I pray for you to be able to live your lives in peace and free from this injustice.

Such evil. Demons disguised as humans.

Mind Begs the Question:
- When Governed by Politicians
- Who justify Starvation, Death Camps, Gassing/White Phosphorus, Ethnic Cleansing, etc
- Governed by Righteous or Satanic?

We gave you shelter when Europe disowned you
But instead of appreciation
You were greedy

It's absolutely beyond my mind that theres no country besides Yemen and Lebanon willing to help the people of Palestine...😢😢😢

There are no words to express such calculated, deliberate barbarity. It's in vain that so many millions died in WWII so many countries left devastated. They thought that " never again" really meant never again. May God have mercy on us, this is do evil.

My heart is 💔 free free Palestine 🇵🇸 Free free Palestine 🇵🇸.

James my worst fear is being realised. I believe you are witnessing the last of a Palestinian nation. From Gaza to the occupied territory they are experiencing a genocide. The world is witnessing brutality like never seen before and yet, no action taken. Some countries complicit in this genocide, others silent and in South Africa we are fighting for justice. Fear its not enough and not fast enough. The sadness has become overwhelming for most of us.

Imagine still supporting Israel at this point.

[itamarferreiradecarvalho]

Que coisa horrível!!!
Quando é que esse horrendo massacre vai parar!?
Quando é que esse desprezível governo de Israel vai parar o massacre?!

[sashmendis]

I will never look at US the same way ever again from Australia for Palastine

[ХикматллоЗакиров]

Зря мой дед воевал с немецким нациситов чтобы освободить еврейский нациситов из концлагеря Европа.!
