Palestinian Ambassador To UN Breaks Down In Tears Over 'Unbearable' Death Of Children In Gaza
Palestinian ambassador speaks at UN Security CouncilThe Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations broke down in tears over the “unbearable” loss of children in Gaza on Wednesday.Riyad Mansour sobbed as he unpacked the humanitarian crisis developing in the Palestinian territory, triggered by Israel’s blockade of aid and ongoing offensive against Hamas.Israel launched a full-scale offensive into Gaza in October 2023 in response to the Hamas attack on Israeli soil, where the militants killed 1,200 people and took 250 others hostage.After 19 months of war in the region, more than 50,000 Palestinians are estimated to have been killed.The US did manage to broker a two-month ceasefire earlier this year, but Israel stunned the international community when it resumed its deadly airstrikes in March killing more than 400 people.There is growing international unease over Israel’s ongoing military actions.Israel’s allies – the UK, France and Canada – slammed the country’s “egregious actions” in Gaza last week, warning they would initiate joint action unless the war stops.Britain also suspended trade negotiations with Israel, and UK development minister Jenny Chapman accused the country of using “hunger as a weapon of war”.But Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu responded by claiming the UK, France and Canada were on the “wrong side of humanity”.He claimed the war would not end until the whole of Gaza is under Israeli control.Speaking at the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Mansour sobbed as he explained just how dire the situation is in Gaza right now.He said: “Since Israel broke the ceasefire in March, over 1,300 Palestinian children have been killed and around 4,000 have been injured.“These are children and still a war against barbarism. Children! Dozens of children are dying of starvation.“The images of mothers embracing their motionless bodies, caressing their hair, talking to them, apologising to them, is unbearable.”“How could anyone?” He added, before putting his head in his hand and crying. “To see the situation of the Palestinians without us having the heart to do something is beyond the ability of any normal human being to tolerate,” Mansour continued.“Flames and hunger are devouring Palestinian children. This is why we are so outraged as Palestinians, everywhere, the 14 million of us [around the world].”He continued: “Nothing can justify attacking Palestinians, whether Palestinians or Israelis, double standards no more.“We are human beings. We are proud Palestinians. We sit around this table. We should be treated exactly like everybody else.”The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations held back tears talking about the 'unbearable' loss of children in Gaza since 'Israel broke a ceasefire in March'.Riyad Mansour says 'nothing justifies attacking children' and adds 'dozens' are dying of starvation as people… pic.twitter.com/MyxaYYLFLT— Channel 4 News (@Channel4News) May 29, 2025Related...'Indiscriminate, Unrestrained, Brutal': Former Israeli PM Calls Gaza Assault 'War Crimes'Israel Is Fighting 'Proxy War On UK's Behalf' In Gaza, Kemi Badenoch ClaimsIsrael's Netanyahu Claims Starmer Is On 'Wrong Side Of Humanity'
