Unicef warns of ‘commonalities’ between Israel’s war on Gaza and Lebanon

James Elder, the spokesperson for the UN children’s agency Unicef, warned on Tuesday that the war on Lebanon is being conducted in the same way as the devastating war on Gaza.

“The commonalities are unfortunately absolutely there to be seen, whether it is displacement on the ground, impact upon children or language being used … [to] soften the realities on the ground,” he said in Beirut during an online press briefing with reporters.
