Gaza Crisis: UN Envoy Breaks Down in Tears Over Child Casualties

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has resulted in a devastating humanitarian crisis, particularly affecting Palestinian children. Riyad Mansour, a Palestinian UN envoy, delivered a powerful and emotional address to the Security Council on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, detailing the scale of the tragedy. Mansour, visibly moved, stated, "It's unbearable." He emphasized the impact on families, saying, "I have grandchildren and I know what they mean to their families." His address highlighted the staggering figures: over 1,300 Palestinian children killed and approximately 4,000 injured since March. The international community is increasingly concerned about the situation and is calling for an immediate end to the violence and the protection of civilians.
