United Nations, June 21 (RHC)-- James Elder, a spokesman for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), has said that “we are all poorer” for Israel’s assault on Gaza and has described Israel’s relentless bombardment of the Palestinian territory as an attack on “our shared humanity”.

“We have all lost.  The attacks on hospitals, the attacks on homes, and the defence of these attacks. These are attacks on our shared humanity,” he said in a video, posted on X from Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

“Gazans cannot turn off the TV or close their eyes to these horrors, and neither should we,” he said.

Meanwile, the United Nations reports that Tel Aviv is "systematically" violating war laws.  The UN says that at least four 450 kg (1,000-pound) bombs were dropped by Israeli forces in an attack on the densely-populated Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza on October 31, 2023.

Ten structures were flattened in the attack, and the UN verified that at least 56 people were killed, including 12 women and 23 children.  It was one of six attacks by Israel in October and November that were examined by the UN’s human rights office in a new report on “indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks” in Gaza.
