Unicef says children in Lebanon are facing a “silent normalisation of horror”, with more than 200 killed and 1,100 injured in the last two months, Al Jazeera reports.
“In Lebanon, much the same as has become the case in Gaza, the intolerable is quietly transforming into the acceptable. And the appalling is slipping into the realm of the expected,” said Unicef spokesperson James Elder at a press briefing in Geneva.
“And once more, the cries of children go unheard, the world’s silence grows deafening, and again we allow the unimaginable to become the landscape of childhood. A horrific and unacceptable new normal.”
