UK-based Save the Children and seven other aid organizations say they were left “appalled” at the failure of the UN Security Council on Friday to pass a resolution demanding a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, reports Al Jazeera.
“If implemented, this would have provided much-needed respite for civilians in Gaza who are under constant bombardment. This was a missed opportunity to stop the violence,” they said in a joint statement.
“We are two months into the crisis and complete siege of Gaza. Gaza is now the deadliest place for civilians in the world,” it said.
