United Nations, February 23 (RHC)-- Speaking before the United Nations Security Council, Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres, or MSF) director Chris Lockyear said that medical teams in Gaza have come up with a new acronym to reflect the dire situation on the ground: WCNSF – “wounded child, no surviving family.”

“There is a repeated displacement, constant fear and witnessing family members literally dismembered before their eyes,” he said of children in Gaza.  “These psychological injuries have led children as young as five to tell us that they would prefer to die.”

We previously reported that Lockyear had described Israel’s war on Gaza as a “war of collective punishment” to the 15-member council, also accusing Israel of dismantling “hospital after hospital” as it destroyed the besieged enclave’s healthcare infrastructure.
