Orphaned children are experiencing the "repeated horror" of being targeted and bereaved multiple times under Israel's bombardment, forced starvation, and denial of water to Palestinians.

That is according to Unicef's James Elder, who has called on the Irish Government to press for the emergency evacuation of thousands of wounded children who are now being treated without pain relief.
