Red Cross finds starving children with 12 corpses in Gaza 'house of horrors'
The International Committee of the Red Cross has accused the Israeli military of "unacceptable" conduct and breaching international humanitarian law after discovering four emaciated children living next to the corpses of their mothers and other adults in bomb-shattered houses in Gaza City.

8. Yea, I just saw that too.

I'm normally a pretty calm person but I am having a very difficult time containing my anger today. I feel so f***ing ashamed of my country's government! How do we help these people NOW? What to do, what to do...

You have planted bullets in our heads,

Gentlemen, nothing passes like that
without account
All that you have done

7. Israels statement
t said the IDF was working closely with international aid organisations during the fighting so that civilians could receive assistance, and continued: "The IDF in no way intentionally targets civilians and has demonstrated its willingness to abort operations to save civilian lives and to risk injury in order to assist innocent civilians.

my question is when? during this conflict when?

12. The Israeli army has blatant disregard for the UN and the ICRC.
Crimes. Plain and easy to understand. Bombing UN refugee shelters, killing UN aid drivers during a 'humanitarian cease-fire', and stopping the ICRC from doing their noble work. Truly disgusting.
