The UN’s child rights committee has called for an immediate ceasefire, saying there were “no winners in a war where thousands of children are killed”.
“The committee calls for an end to the devastating harm being wreaked on children’s lives in the occupied Palestinian territory,” the independent committee, which monitors countries’ adherence to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, said in a statement.
“We add our voice to those calling for an immediate ceasefire. We urge the immediate release of child hostages, with their caregivers,” the committee said.
Both Israel and Palestine are parties to the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
