‘Inhumane’ to expect Gaza City’s children to flee, UN agency says

GENEVA: An official of the United Nations’ children’s agency said on Tuesday it was “inhumane” to expect hundreds of thousands of children to leave Gaza City as camps further south were unsafe, overcrowded and ill-equipped to receive them. Israel announced on Tuesday the start of its long-awaited ground operation into Gaza City, the main urban center in the enclave where Israel has ordered residents to flee. So far, more than 140,000 have already fled south from Gaza City since August 14, UN data shows, of a population of around 1 million people.
