Human Rights Watch Says Pledge to Allow Aid to Gaza Falls Short
  + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
“Israel’s bombardment and unlawful total blockade of Gaza mean that countless wounded and sick children, among many other civilians, will die for want of medical care,” Bill Van Esveld, associate children’s rights director at the rights group said in a statement. Electricity, food and fuel supplies into the Palestinian enclave from Israel were stopped after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas militants from Gaza. President Biden said Egypt's President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi agreed to open the gates to the Rafah border crossing, where trucks carrying aid to the Gaza Strip have been waiting. Biden said up to 20 trucks of humanitarian assistance to Gaza will be allowed through.

Russia has deported 13,000 children from Ukraine since the start of the war, an official said Friday. Throughout the war in Ukraine, Russia has faced numerous allegations of atrocities and war crimes, many of which are backed by substantial evidence. Russia asserts that the deported children are orphans. In May, Russia changed its laws to allow Ukrainian children to be granted Russian citizenship, paving the way for them to be given to Russian families. Van Esveld said around 160 Ukrainian children have reportedly been adopted under that process.
