UN officials voiced anger and disbelief on Tuesday about the situation in Gaza hospitals, where injured people do not have basic supplies and children recovering from amputations are being killed in the ongoing conflict.
UNICEF spokesperson shared the story of 12-year-old Donia Abu Mohsen who was killed by Israeli shelling of the Nasser Hospital.
Israel has claimed to have killed a prominent Hamas financier behind “tens of millions” of funding for the terror group.
The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA said more than 60% of Gaza's infrastructure was destroyed or damaged, with more than 90% of the 2.3 million population uprooted. "This is a staggering and unprecedented level of destruction and forced displacement, taking place in front of our eyes," it said. In the ground war, where Israel has lost 132 soldiers, tanks advanced further into the southern city of Khan Younis and shelled a market area but met heavy resistance, residents said.
Children in Gaza are living through a perfect storm of disease according to UNICEF.
