UNICEF spokesman 'shocked' by extent of malnutrition in Gaza

Gaza [Palestine], June 5: UNICEF spokesman James Elder, currently in Gaza, has described the "horrors" he witnessed within just 24 hours.
Speaking from al-Mawasi, Elder told Al Jazeera that Gaza's hospitals and streets are filled with malnourished children. "I'm seeing teenage boys in tears, showing me their ribs," he said, noting that children were pleading for food.
He described people so desperate that they walk kilometres to aid centres - despite knowing "massacres" have recently taken place there.
"Imagine knowing there'd be a massacre, but being so desperate to feed your family that you still go," he said, blaming the Israel-US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for enabling the violence and then shutting down operations without delivering enough aid. (Agencies)
