"As we speak, a large number of children in Gaza are starving to death, McCain told during an interview with CNN, according to IRNA's Monday morning report
In response to the question whether the Zionist regime's agreement to open a new crossing for the entry of humanitarian aid, McCain said that although this action is important but it does not suffice the amount of aid needed in Gaza.
She reminded that children in Gaza are currently dying of hunger and those that are not dying or haven't died yet are so emaciated and lacking so much in the way of important nutrients at this particular time in their life cycles.
A huge amount of humanitarian aid is waiting to enter Gaza just a few kilometers away, and that is why crossings for aid to enter Gaza are so important, McCain added.
She noted that if these food items and aid do not reach them in time, many of them will die and even if these reach the people may survive but the negative effects of malnutrition will never leave them and will suffer them throughout their lives.
According to the United Nations Children's Fund, more than 13,000 children have been killed since the beginning of the Zionist regime's genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, and currently one out of every three Palestinian children under the age of 2 is malnourished due to severe famine.
