@cbsnews: “Why didn’t I die with my sister, my mother, my father?” This is what children in Gaza are asking when they wake — with “bodies shattered by explosives and torn by flying metal” — to find that their entire families were killed in the ongoing war with Israel, Dr. Feroze Sidhwa told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday. He said they are asking the question, “not out of extremism, but out of unbearable grief.” “I wonder if any member of this council has ever met a 5-year-old child who no longer wants to live,” he said. Sidhwa, who is from California, worked at a hospital in Khan Younis from March 25 to April 8 last year, where he primarily treated pre-teens. Of his patients, he said 13 were children who had been shot in the head or chest. #gaza #children #health #unitednations
