Listening to James Elder from UNICEF on the radio from Gaza. Israel refusing to allow almost all very ill children to leave for medical treatment abroad. These are children who've had their entire faces reconstructed and the materials holding their faces together are dissolving with no further treatement available, children with such severe burns they have no more skin to graft, children who have lost limbs and there is no prosthetic limb available for them.
In one case they approved the child to travel but denied her mother. Then they applied for her uncle to accompany her instead of the mother and he was denied. So they applied again for the child to travel alone and that was turned down on the grounds that she can't travel alone. The people toying with these children's lives make me sick.
He's also saying we need Western journalists to report on what's going on and says aid restrictions and denials are ongoing.
