The recent statement from the Committee on the Rights of the Child concerning the situation of #children in #Gaza demands immediate attention. It underscores the urgent need for humanitarian intervention and adherence to #intllaw to protect vulnerable children and their rights.
"No child should grow up in fear, pain & hunger. Yet today, no child in #Gaza is free from fear, pain & hunger. In fact, they'll be considered lucky if they can even survive this war and have the chance to grow up." - Ann Skelton, Chair of the UN Child Rights Committee #CRC
