The head of UNICEF on Monday demanded an “end to the senseless killing of children” following the Israeli airstrike on tents housing displaced people in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza Strip, Anadolu news agency reported.

“Images of burned children and families emerging from bombed tents in Rafah shocks us all. The reported killing of children sheltering in makeshift tents is unconscionable,” Catharine Russell wrote on X.

Underscoring the severity of the situation, Russell said: “For over 7 months, we’ve witnessed this tragedy unfold, resulting in thousands of children killed or injured.”
