- The scenes of carnage & death following attacks on Alfakhoura & Tal Al Zaatar schools in #Gaza killing many children & women are horrific & appalling. These horrible attacks should cease immediately. Children, schools & shelters are not a target. Immediate ceasefire needed now !
- Yesterday I met Burtukan in Abi Adi of #Tigray region: she is 2 months & weighs 2.5 kgs. Normally a child her age should weigh 4 kgs. She is one of thousands of children treated for malnutrition. Thx to partners @UKinEthiopia @USAIDEthiopia @eu_echo @ACF_Ethiopia @UNICEFEthiopia

00:00 - The footage of death & carnage at Al Shifa is a testament to absence of safe places in #Gaza. While famine is ravaging the strip & children need urgent health care, hospitals are destroyed condemning an entire population to slow & agonizing deaths. This needs to end immediately.
