And he decried the Israeli bombing of a doctor’s house that killed nine of her 10 children.

His voice quivering, he recalled “the images of mothers embracing their motionless bodies, caressing their hair, talking to them, apologizing to them.”“Unbearable! How could anybody?” he asked, breaking into tears and putting his hand on his forehead.After a long pause he excused himself and said, his voice still shaking, “I have grandchildren. I know what they mean to their families. … Flames and hunger are devouring Palestinian children. This is why we are so outraged.”

Israel blames Hamas for civilian deaths, saying militants operate in densely populated areas.Palestinian civilians in Gaza who are being starved and facing famine “have lost hope,” said acting U.N. special coordinator for the Mideast Sigrid Kaag, speaking to the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.

“Instead of saying ‘goodbye,’ Palestinians in Gaza now say, ‘see you in heaven,’” Kaag said. “Death is their companion. It’s not life, it’s not hope.”
