'We have seen nothing like the siege of Gaza'

Leaders of six major humanitarian organisations have urged the US to change course in Gaza in a op-ed for the New York Times. 

"We are no strangers to human suffering - to conflict, to natural disasters, to some of the world’s largest and gravest catastrophes. We were there when fighting erupted in Khartoum, Sudan. As bombs rained down on Ukraine.

"When earthquakes leveled southern Turkey and northern Syria. As the Horn of Africa faced its worst drought in years...But as the leaders of some of the world’s largest global humanitarian organizations, we have seen nothing like the siege of Gaza," they said. 

'The Biden administration must stop its diplomatic interference at the United Nations, blocking calls for a cease-fire," the authors added.
