White House Advisor: The humanitarian situation in Gaza is pushing us into a confrontation with the Israelis. Every passing minute risks the death of a new child from starvation in the Gaza Strip, while the world watches.

The Human Rights Committee renewed its call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, given that children in the northern Gaza Strip face imminent famine. The statement noted that "Gaza's children are starving to death," and added that "food has been cut off from them, and even crumbs are not easy to find" As of Thursday evening, 27 deaths of children due to malnutrition and dehydration had been reported.
