Sixteen year-olds in Gaza are now in the middle of the fourth war of their short lifetimes, a leading UN humanitarian has told UN News, pointing out that for the youngest, it’s causing unimaginable trauma.

Gemma Connell of UN humanitarian coordination office OCHA, is in Rafah, where she has spent the past week and says that for mothers, they’re also enduring terrible suffering and loss of dignity that is life-altering.

Abdelmonem Makki asked her what she had seen, as local health authorities report that more than 18,000 have now been killed amidst the battle between Palestinian militants and Israeli forces – mostly women and children.
