IRC chief David Miliband

Israeli military action continues to devastate the civilian population in Gaza. A three-day siege at Al-Shifa hospital is ongoing, though thousands are sheltering there. The IDF claims the site is being used by "senior Hamas terrorists," saying it's killed ninety of them. The bombardment is pushing Gaza towards a devastating humanitarian crisis: A UN-backed organization reports that half of Gaza, more than a million people, is on the brink of catastrophic hunger. David Miliband is President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee. He is a former British Foreign Secretary and is himself a child of holocaust refugees.
