'For children of Lebanon, it has become silent normalisation of horror': UNICEF

Nov 22, 2024

Geneva [Switzerland], November 22: "Despite more than 200 children killed in Lebanon in less than two months, a disconcerting pattern has emerged: their deaths are met with inertia from those able to stop this violence," according to UNICEF Spokesperson James Elder.
"For the children of Lebanon, it has become a silent normalisation of horror,'' said Elder in a press briefing today in Geneva.
"We must hope humanity never again witnesses the ongoing level of carnage of children in Gaza, though there are chilling similarities for children in Lebanon."
Hundreds of thousands of children were made homeless in Lebanon, he said, noting that Despite efforts in early November to open some schools for children in Lebanon, given widespread attacks over the weekend, all are again closed.
