After two years of US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza that’s left hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children dead, maimed, starved, sickened, and displaced and countless others traumatized for life, a key United Nations leader on Wednesday urged an immediate ceasefire and entry of humanitarian aid into the embattled strip.
