Seven wounded Palestinian children from the Gaza Strip arrived in France for medical treatment, the French Foreign Ministry said. It is the second such evacuation to the European country after two other Palestinian children arrived on December 28. “France remains extremely worried by the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where a lack of food, drinking water and medicine has for several weeks exposed the civilian population to a very serious health and food crisis,” the ministry said. “We must work immediately for a lasting ceasefire, which alone can put an end to the suffering of the civilian population of Gaza,” it added.
