Calls for Safe Humanitarian Access into Gaza to Help the Children | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

As the situation in Gaza worsens, the director of the United Nations Children's Fund is warning of a looming disaster. Christine Russell says the devastating tally of the weeks-long war is adding up in Gaza, adding that over 3,000 children have been killed thus far. Russell says very little clean water remains in Gaza and is quickly running out. She called on the UN security council to adopt a resolution that calls for a cease-fire and allows safe humanitarian access into the region. Middle East Scholar and former Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, Samuel Tadros, joins to tell us how critical the Rafah Crossing is both in terms of getting aid into Palestine and getting people out. Aid is a hot topic as many worry about Hamas controlling or stealing the assistance. Tadros shares whether he thinks this aid will get to where it needs to go and whether we could see a larger influx of food and supplies for innocent Palestinian people. There's another side to allowing people out of Gaza and that's the fact that Hamas has less and less "human shields" to use during the fight. Tadros discusses how much this changes the calculus of this war. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
