Children could not be saved after Israel delayed access to bombed home: UN

The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that Israeli authorities blocked a rescue operation at a bombed building in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, for three days.

According to Scott Anderson, OCHA’s deputy humanitarian coordinator for Gaza, ten people were inside the destroyed building, including five children aged four to six.

“So, it’s a lot of people that were innocent, just trying to find shelter from the conflict and lost their lives here. And the worst part of this is that some of these lives could have been saved,” he said.
