James Elder, UNICEF’s global spokesperson, expressed profound distress over the ongoing violence in Gaza, where over 15,000 children have been killed in 15 months. He described the harrowing scenes of families digging through rubble with bare hands, saying, “Humanity is being buried whilst the world watches children being killed again in Gaza.” Elder condemned the blockade of humanitarian aid, noting that essential supplies like vaccines, ventilators, and water are stuck just kilometres away, while children die from preventable causes. He stressed that international humanitarian law is being “breached again and again,” with UN facilities and workers also targeted. Elder called for an immediate ceasefire, urging those in power to prioritise children’s lives, stating, “It should not be hard to centre the world’s attention on ending these horrors.”
