“It’s utterly dire” in Gaza, says UNICEF’s @1james_elder. “I was in Al-Aqsa Hospital on Tuesday… with doctors walking over children missing limbs, with horrendous burns… [They] urgently need medical attention outside but cannot get it. And if they cannot get it, they will die.”

They’re dying from airstrikes and now malnutrition and dehydration.
These are some of their stories.
