"It breaks my heart to see children around me strive for a cup of clean water and cannot find it:" Gaza has become a graveyard for thousands of children, Unicef says

Unicef Spokesperson James Elder calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine war. “Gaza must be opened for the safe, sustained and unimpeded access of humanitarian aid, including water, food, medical supplies, and fuel,” he says.

from the article

And then there is the trauma. When the fighting stops, the cost to children and their communities will be borne out for generations to come. Before this latest escalation, more than 800,000 children in Gaza – three quarters of its entire child population – were identified as needing mental health and psychosocial support. That’s before this latest nightmare.

1,000,000 children are being denied a livable present and future. The clock is ticking. Please call your local representatives.

TexMexBazooka,

They don’t care. Never have.

Domiku,

Call anyway! If they don’t feel pressure from their electorate, then they definitely won’t change their stances.

Machinist3359,

I agree, but it takes less than 10 min and is more impactful than lemmy posts

unicef has been pleading for humanitarian aid to Gaza long before the hamas attack. It's not a fresh hell, it's been like this for a long time.

awww cry me a fucking river, guess instead of having all those islamofascist muslim nations vote against israel time and time again, they should have gotten egypt to invade gaza sooner to root out hamas, pij, and all the other terrorists who attack israel. what is that you say, the united nations islamofascists don't mind when muslim terrorists attack israel and kill jews, only when jews respond with force in their defense?

you don't say

Gaza was given to Arabs for self rule and determination in 2005, all Jews left Gaza, even Jewish graveyards were dug up and moved, it was theirs to do with as they liked.

They've spent the last 18 years making into a terrorist Disneyland with a dozen Islamofascist terrorist organizations with the stated goal of killing Jews and destroying the state of Israel, they've fired hundreds of thousands of missiles into Israel indiscriminately targeting civilians, and launched countless cross borders attacks against Jewish civilians, including one that caused the largest loss of Jewish life in any single day, anywhere, since the Holocaust on October 7th.

They were given Gaza to live in freedom and self determination, they used it to kill Jews. They were warned. They chose to ignore the warnings.

These acts of terrorism were perpetrated by the entire Gazan community, they voted for Hamas, and allowed Hamas to rule their government for the last 17 years, Hamas and all the other Islamic terrorists in Gaza are not outsiders, they were born in Gaza of Gazans, they were raised in Gaza, they were educated in Gaza, they married and had children of their own in Gaza, their Parents, teachers, mosques, hospitals, are all in Gaza, from which they use to hid and store weapons to attack Jews, Hamas, PIJ and all the other Islamic terrorist in Gaza ARE Gaza, there has been no uprising in Gaza, there have only been attacks on Israel. This is what Gazans have supported and sacrificed for in every way they possibly could.

And now it's here. I do hope they enjoy what they've worked generationaly to achieve.

There will be no ceasefire this time.

Palestinians have never had self rule in Gaza, a self ruled nation can conduct international trade

Honestly the guy you are replying to is a troll at this point.

This is an article about children and he has cynically used it to springboard into yet another angry rant about his perceptions of their parents.

I know, it's mostly a copy paste even

God damn, I refreshed my donation to UNICEF and am hoping other people follow suit.

kittenroar,

It makes me feel sick that Biden is sending more money to Israel, with no conditions, knowing that all of that money will be used for genocide.

It’s also upsetting (but not surprising) to see so many Israel apologists on social media.
