“There are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them,” he stated.

“We run all sorts of risks trying to get that baby food through to those mothers who cannot feed their children right now because they’re malnourished.”

But whether or not Israel will proceed to extend the degrees of support delivered to the inhabitants of Gaza stays to be seen.
