"Rafah is a city of children.

Hundreds of thousands of them are at risk. They are sick, living with disabilities, malnourished & traumatized.
The children in Gaza need a ceasefire now to prevent further suffering."

Sima Bahous, the executive director of UN Women, said more than 10,000 Palestinian women have been killed in the seven months of Israel’s war on Gaza – including scores of women and children horrifically killed by an Israeli air strike while sleeping in tents in what was supposed to be a safe zone in Rafah.

“This war must stop because women and girls are bearing the brunt of it,” Bahous told a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday.
