UK charity ‘outraged’ by Israel’s killing of Palestinian children
At least 24 children are among the more than 80 people that Israeli forces killed in a day in Khan Younis, according to Save the Children.
“We are outraged by the relentless and disproportionate violence against Palestinian children,” said Jeremy Stoner, the British charity’s regional director for the Middle East.
“We cannot allow this to become normalised. Those who have survived are living through inhumane conditions and extreme stress,” Stoner said.
According to the UN, the number of child casualties has increased by nearly 250 percent since the start of the war.
