Save the Children condemns Israeli violence against children

Responding on Tuesday to Israeli air strikes on Gaza, Jason Lee, Save the Children’s country director in the occupied Palestinian territory, said: “There is no possible justification for children being killed or injured.

"We condemn and demand an immediate stop to the indiscriminate targeting and killing of civilians, including children.

"This is a grave violation of children’s rights and perpetrators must be held to account for their actions and brought to justice.

“Children are already living in grave danger, and with every rocket or airstrike launched they are brutally reminded of this fact.

"We urgently need all parties to stop hostilities and bring an end to the fear and suffering children and families have endured for far too long. How many children have to die before the situation is brought to an end?”
