Ms Rachel urges action as 14,000 children face starvation in Gaza

Popular children’s educator and YouTube figure Ms Rachel has delivered a tearful message to world leaders, calling on them to act before thousands of babies die under Israel’s ongoing blockade of Gaza.

“You can’t be about to let 14,000 children starve,” she said in an Instagram video, responding to the UN’s warning that children in Gaza could die within 48 hours if the siege continues.

“Whatever is keeping you from standing up for these kids, who don’t have food and medical care and who have had amputations without anaesthesia, whatever is keeping you from saying it, it’s not greater than your humanity,” she added.

Ms Rachel - whose educational content has racked up more than 10 billion views on YouTube - has faced criticism from pro-Israel groups for speaking out. But she continues to raise her voice as the humanitarian crisis deepens.
