In a series of statements to the United Nations Security Council, Christopher Lockyear, the Secretary General of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), highlighted the dire situation in the Gaza Strip. Lockyear reported that the Israeli military's actions have led to the systematic dismantling of Gaza's health system, leaving it incapable of coping with the current needs. MSF teams have introduced a new acronym, WCNSF (Wounded Child, No Surviving Family), to describe the tragic cases they encounter. Furthermore, Lockyear revealed that children as young as five have expressed a desire to die, indicating severe psychological trauma among the young population. These statements underscore the critical humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with MSF criticizing the effectiveness of the current humanitarian response and pointing out the psychological injuries inflicted.
