Palestinian UN envoy in tears over deaths of Gazan children | ABC NEWS

Описание: Palestinian Ambassador to the United Nations Riyad Mansour delivered an emotional address to the UN Security Council on Wednesday, breaking down in tears as he described the suffering of Palestinian children amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
Mansour slammed his fist on the table and broke down crying, pausing his speech.
"I have grandchildren," he said. "I know what they mean to their families, and to see this situation over the Palestinians without us having hearts to do something, is beyond the ability of any normal human being to tolerate."
Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza in retaliation for the Hamas-led attack on communities in southern Israel on October 7, 2023 that killed some 1,200 people and saw 251 hostages abducted into Gaza, according to Israeli tallies.
Its assault has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, Gaza officials say, and turned much of the crowded coastal enclave into a wasteland.
