00:00 I'm here at Al-Amal Hospital. It's a Palestinian Red Crescent Society facility, clearly marked
00:07 with the Red Crescent emblem on the roof. And just two hours ago, you can see behind
00:11 me and all around me, this area was hit. Five people were killed here, including a five-day
00:18 old child. No child in the world should be killed, let alone one, sheltering under the
00:24 emblem of a humanitarian organization. This war has to end. You can see just behind me
00:31 the diapers. This was a space where babies were living. This is a space where children
00:35 were living. You can see on the floor the blood. The world should be absolutely horrified.
00:46 The world should be absolutely outraged. A child was killed here today. Four more people
00:51 were killed here today in a space that should be safe, but there is no safe space in Gaza
00:56 and the world should be ashamed.
00:58 Thank you.
